Business question from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have an early debate on the Government’s strategic objectives in Iraq and Afghanistan? Many of us believe that the cost in terms of lives and casualties in Iraq outweighs any political or military objective that we can reasonably obtain and, in Helmand province in Afghanistan, we have taken to ourselves objectives on which we cannot succeed, given the existing troop levels, and the casualties are too high.
