Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has (a) had discussions with his US counterpart on and (b) put in place mechanisms for civilian harm tracking in relation to UK-US military operations.

UK Ministers and officials speak regularly with US counterparts to ensure coherence and alignment between our two nations, including on joint military activities. The UK has robust procedures to ensure that all military operations, including airstrikes, are conducted in full compliance with International Humanitarian Law and in a manner that reflects the UK’s clear commitment to the protection of civilians.
