Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 22 October 2007 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Afghanistan
- Question
- Does my right hon. Friend agree that we are facing a huge threat and that day in, day out UK forces have to face the threat in Afghanistan that should be shared among our NATO partners, to ensure that they take more of the weight? Does he agree that it is time for them to stand up and be counted?
- Answer
-
I agree that NATO needs to live up to its collective commitment. My ministerial colleagues and I regularly raise the subject when we speak to our partners. It will continue to be raised to ensure that increasingly they live up to those commitments, and there has been some movement on the part of some of our allies.
