Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Rotherwick (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 23 January 2012.


Armed Forces: Afghanistan

Question
My Lords, what is the situation regarding the Danish armour that is supporting our troops in Afghanistan at present?
Answer

My Lords, that is a very important question. The deployment of Danish tanks has proved essential to our activities in Helmand, and the commander of Task Force Helmand cannot sing their praises enough. We and our allies in Regional Command Southwest welcome the Danish decision to retain this tank capability in Helmand until 2014.
