To ask the Prime Minister pursuant to his statement of 18 March 2003,Official Report, columns 761–62, on the information provided by Hussein Kamal on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, if he will place in the Library the text of the interview. [104714]

The Prime Minister

Following his defection, Hussein Kamal was interviewed by UNSCOM and by a number of other agencies. Details concerning the interviews were made available to us on a confidential basis. The UK was not provided with transcripts of the interviews.

Norman Baker

To ask the Prime Minister what steps the Government has taken to(a) minimise environmental damage and (b) enable the repair of environmental damage caused by the war in Iraq. [104841]

The Prime Minister

One of the Government's military campaign objectives is to secure the economic infrastructure of Iraq from sabotage and wilful destruction by the Iraqi regime. The securing of the southern oilfields so early in the military campaign is a significant achievement, preventing Saddam from repeating the environmental pollution he caused in 1991.
