That this House notes with concern the distress felt by many United Kingdom armed forces veterans following recent public comments relating to military operations in Afghanistan and the Middle East; recognises that such remarks have reopened trauma and grief for those who served and for the families of the fallen; highlights unequivocally that the service of British troops in war was marked by courage, professionalism and the highest standards of conduct; pays particular tribute to those who lost their lives in service, including Army Medic Channing Day, who was killed while serving in Afghanistan; and emphasises the untainted reputation of the brave men and women who have served, past and present, on the front lines in defence of the United Kingdom and its allies.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many personnel have been medically discharged from the armed forces due to permanent hearing loss or damage following following involvement in (a) the Afghanistan War from 2001 and (b) Iraq War from 2003.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many personnel have been medically discharged from the armed forces due to permanent hearing loss or damage following following involvement in (a) the Afghanistan War from 2001 and (b) Iraq War from 2003.
Between 1 January 2001 and 30 September 2022, a total of 2,170 UK Regular Armed Forces personnel were medically discharged with a principal or contributory cause of hearing loss/damage, of which 1,455 had been previously deployed to either Afghanistan and/or Iraq. The breakdown of the figure is provided below:
1,119 had been deployed to Afghanistan.
839 had been deployed to Iraq.
Personnel may have deployed to both Afghanistan and Iraq therefore the breakdown cannot be summed. The medical discharges included in this response cannot be attributed to deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq. This means that the hearing loss/damage may not have been sustained when on deployment and the subsequent medical discharge may have occurred a number of years after deployment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding battle honours for Army regiments that served in the most recent operations in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of awarding battle honours for Army regiments that served in the most recent operations in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan.
Following the end of combat operations in Iraq in 2009, the Army Honours and Distinctions Committee reviewed the campaign to assess the awarding of honours. Having considered that assessment, the Army decided that the campaign post TELIC 1 did not, in its view, qualify for honours. To date, the Army has not asked the Committee to review the campaign in Afghanistan.

I support the noble Lord very strongly. He mentioned Ukraine, so does he agree that, given the language used, the actions of Putin and those around him are clearly a genocide?
