The UK takes appropriate measures to reduce the risk of collateral damage and we have a robust process in place to positively identify targets before we conduct airstrikes. To date there have been no reports of civilian casualties as a result of RAF airstrikes in Iraq or Syria.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 12/01/2016 17:22:41 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
