LONDON, England (CNN) -- Britain will pull about 800 troops out of Iraq by the end of May, cutting its contingent in the south of the country by nearly 10 percent, Defense Secretary John Reid has announced.

The pullout will leave Britain with about 7,000 troops in southern Iraq when completed, Reid told the House of Commons on Monday.

He said the reduction was made possible by a "continual and considerable advance" in the capabilities of Iraqi troops.
