Iraq
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the estimates of Iraqi deaths made in The Lancet; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Maintaining records of civilian deaths in Iraq is ultimately a matter for the Government of Iraq and we believe they are best placed to monitor the situation. The Lancet report is one of a number of recent studies that attempts to estimate the numbers of civilian casualties in Iraq, none of which can be regarded as definitive. The figures in The Lancet report are significantly higher than other casualty estimates.
