Topical Questions

Question
Can my hon. Friend define what victory in Afghanistan would mean?
Answer

The strategy is about ensuring that this country is safe. If that is to happen, we need sufficient capacity in the Afghan national army, police and Government, so that the Government of Afghanistan can bring about security in their country for themselves.
