Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl Attlee (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 25 July 2007.

Afghanistan: NATO Forces

Question: My Lords, is the Minster satisfied with the operation of the PRTs in Afghanistan?

Answer: My Lords, I am sure that the noble Earl is aware that the PRTs operate in different ways throughout the country. In the north, where there is now stability, there is a great evolution in their operation, and they have become broad-based but also integrated with government in their activities. In the south there are still some restrictions on their movement, and therefore their functions; we hope that those restrictions will be reduced as we succeed in restoring stability to Helmand.
