tabling member printed	Lord Ahmed
uin	HL572
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government has not made an estimate of the number of Iraqis killed as a result of terrorism and war-related violence since 2003. While the security situation in Iraq has greatly improved since violence peaked in 2006-2007, Iraqi civilians have been victim to Daesh’s atrocities since the summer of 2014. We utterly condemn such violence and call for those responsible to be brought to justice. The UK is committed to supporting the Government of Iraq as it works to defeat Daesh and put Iraq on the path to long-term peace and stability.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 16/06/2016 14:38:01 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
