Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many British military casualties have been incurred in Syria since Parliament authorised the extension of the campaign against Daesh to Syria on 2 December 2015; and how many of those casualties were caused by Daesh.

The Government publishes figures annually setting out statistics concerning casualties. For the latest figures I refer the Noble Baroness to the attached document, published on 28 March 2019

( the next figures will be released on 26 March 2020).
