LONDON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said on Thursday Britain does not intend to send any more troops to Iraq.

U.S. President George W. Bush said on Wednesday night that he is sending 21,500 extra troops to Iraq which he believes are needed to help "break the cycle of violence.

Asked about Britain's plans, Beckett told reporters "It is not our intention to send more troops at the present."
