UK forces observe all practicable precautions in planning and carrying out military action and conduct a rigorous assessment before and after striking a target. The MOD will investigate any credible reports that UK actions may have caused civilian casualties.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 04/03/2024 15:33:15 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
