LONDON, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Britain and the United States are ready to support a new United Nations resolution on the reconstruction of Iraq, a senior British government minister said in an interview published on Saturday.

"We're currently looking at the possibilities for another resolution and what that might mean, which issues it would cover," International Development Secretary Baroness Valerie Amos told the Daily Telegraph.

The United States, stung by the spiralling cost of policing Iraq, in terms of both money and lives -- is now beginning to see the benefits of a resolution too, she said.

"The Americans are doing exactly the same thing (drawing up proposals for a new resolution)," Amos said.
