Business question from Andrew MacKay (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Although the House will be grateful to the Secretary of State for Defence for the fact that he will come to make a statement if a large number of extra troops are to be deployed in Afghanistan, is it not absolutely essential to hold a full debate, as in the Dutch Parliament, because the situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating, confusing and dangerous? I hope that the Leader of the House, as an ex-Secretary of State for Defence, would agree that such a debate was essential.
