	uin	219723
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>Our policy on the disclosure of information regarding air strikes by Royal Air Force aircraft engaged on Operation <em>Shader</em> in Iraq is that the detail of each individual strike is carefully considered against the necessary constraint of maintaining operational security, but our over-riding principle is to seek to place information on each strike in the public domain in a prompt and timely manner.</p><p> </p><p>This is consistent with, and a continuation of, Ministry of Defence practice for any operational information. It reflects the necessity for the Armed Forces of a democracy such as the UK not just to conduct military operations in a highly disciplined, careful and proportionate manner within the rule of law, but to demonstrate transparency and accountability for such activity. The need for this is all the more important when the military operations are being conducted against a terrorist organisation such as ISIL which wholly disregards the rule of law and relies on a perverted ideology and deceitful propaganda. This policy has been followed ever since the start of air strike operations in support of the Iraqi authorities, following the Parliamentary vote on 26 September. The primary channel for publishing this information is the Government website <a title="http://www.gov.uk/" href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>, and the information thus disclosed has been regularly reported in the British and international media.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 02/03/2015 16:32:00 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois previous answer version 38634 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois

Overall, the air campaign in Iraq is being conducted with precision and we do not believe that there have been any civilian casualties arising from UK actions. We are currently in discussion with our coalition partners with a view to agreeing a mechanism for tracking, reporting, investigating and responding to allegations of civilian casualties. Responses to individual allegations will vary according to circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 16/03/2015 17:42:07 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois previous answer version 43007 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
