Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Cunningham (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 26 February 2007 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Afghanistan
- Question
- Following on from the question that the right hon. Member for North-East Hampshire (Mr. Arbuthnot) asked, does my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State have any further plans for discussions with NATO countries regarding additional troops for Afghanistan, bearing in mind the idea that according to press reports over the weekend, the troop reduction in Iraq could mean further British troops being sent to Afghanistan?
- Answer
-
I am aware of the speculation that there has been about force levels, not just in the theatre that we are discussing but in others. Later this afternoon I will make a statement to the House, and rather than hon. Members making guesses, I suggest that such questions would be better dealt with after I have informed the House of the decision that the Government have made on deployment in Afghanistan.
