HC Deb 25 May 1994 vol 244 cc185-6W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many missions have been conducted by the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq to inspect military and nuclear sites; and if he will arrange for copies of all reports of UNSCOM visits to be placed in the Library.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There have been 74 UNSCOM/ IAEA missions to Iraq. The 75th is at present in Iraq. UNSCOM inspection reports are not published but a description of missions is given in the six-monthly reports issued by the Secretary-General of the UN. The latest of these are Security Council documents S/1994/489 and S/1994/490 for UNSCOM and the IAEA respectively. In addition the IAEA submits more detailed inspection reports to the UN Secretary-General which are circulated as UN documents. The latest of these are S/1994/31, on the 22nd IAEA mission, and S/1994/355, on the 23rd mission. All these documents are available in the Library of the House.
