Business question from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Does the Leader of the House not feel the slightest discomfort at the Government’s committing a major deployment of troops to Afghanistan without any major debate in the House? May I suggest that he entertains seriously a request for a debate on Iran, which is contributing to the difficulties in Afghanistan? Is not it time that the Government held, in Government time, a full day’s debate on the situation across the entire middle east, including Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, while we consider the very serious matter of this major deployment?
