TIMETABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN

That this House notes that the war in Afghanistan is the longest continuing international deployment of UK forces in a conflict zone since the 19th century; further notes that the number of UK service casualties is now higher than the number sustained in the war in Iraq; further notes that the Government's efforts should concentrate on reconstruction and local capacity building, including the training of the Afghan army; further notes that only the Afghan people will liberate Afghanistan from the scourges of corruption, lawlessness and religious extremism over the longer term; and calls on the Government to publish and commit to a fixed timetable for withdrawal of combat forces from Afghanistan.
