§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what requests he has received from the Government of Iran for compensation for a stray missile which landed in or near the Iranian city of Khorramshahr [65400]
§ Mr. FatchettWe have received a request for compensation from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in respect of a stray missile that landed in or near the town of Khorramshahr.
No missiles were fired by UK forces in the course of Operation Desert Fox. Questions relating to the circumstances of individual missile attacks and any subsequent claims for compensation are therefore a question for the US authorities.
