IRAQ RESERVE CLAIM
Further to your letter of 25 November, I am happy to agree to the claim of up to £2m for the security of CPA Secondees in Iraq-
2.
The security of UK staff overseas has always been of paramount importance, particularly so after the recent tragedy in Istanbul, and as such I am happy to agree to the c. £2m claim for the construction of secure accommodation. As before, this money will come from the £60m Central Reserve funding that the Chancellor announced in the Budget for reconstruction and development in Irag. My officials will be interested to see updates on how the project is progressing.
