HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c480W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the cost was of using cluster munitions in the war in(a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan. [125088]

Mr. Ingram

No cluster munitions were used by United Kingdom forces in Afghanistan. The cost of munitions consumed in Iraq in 2002–03 is being calculated. Once it has been audited and approved by the National Audit Office I will write to the hon. Member and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
