Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the length of time that UK military forces will be engaged in Iraq.
The Government has been clear that dealing with this threat will take time and patience. Our intention is to provide support to the Iraqi government while we believe it to be both needed and the Iraqi government still requests it. The UK airstrikes and other military support shows the UK will play its part in standing against ISIL.
