Maysan Province

Asked for further information about the handover of Maysan Province, the PMOS said that this was the third of the four provinces to be transferred to the Iraqis, across Iraq as a whole. The UK forces had been in a backup role since August.

Asked if that had implications for the UK troops, the PMOS said that it did not, because we had been in a backup role since August.

Asked if Maysan was one of the provinces that had been discussed when the Prime Minister was last in Iraq, the PMOS confirmed that it was, and this was the working out of a policy that was known in advance.
