Business question from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

When can we have a debate on this country following the examples of Canada, the Netherlands and now Australia, and taking an independent decision on withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan? The extraordinary result of the Bradford West by-election shows that there is a great dislocation between opinion in this country and opinion in this House. Should we not debate the fact that our soldiers should not be in Afghanistan for a day longer than is necessary?
