HL Deb 30 October 2001 vol 627 c152WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the latest information on the whereabouts and well-being of Kuwaiti and other prisoners of war still unaccounted for by Iraq; and what recent initiatives they have taken or supported to secure their release. [HL897]

Baroness Amos

Iraq has only provided information sufficient to close three Kuwaiti missing files so far. The UK continues to take an active role in the Tripartite Commission to establish the whereabouts of 605 Kuwaiti and other nationals still missing since the occupation of Kuwait, but the Government of Iraq currently refuse to co-operate with the process.
