Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the military resources which have been provided to Kurdish forces by the UK in the last three years.

Since August 2014 the UK has gifted urgent lethal military support to the Peshmerga in the form of heavy machine guns and ammunition to Kurdish forces at the request of the Iraqi Government in Baghdad.

Non-lethal items such as Halal rations, sleeping bags, body armour and helmets have also been supplied. In addition, we have assisted with the delivery of munitions and equipment on behalf of other Coalition members.
