Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

The Secretary of State’s comments are helpful and enlightening. Do his comments mean that we are not necessarily committed to maintaining our troop presence in Iraq, for example, just because the Americans are there? Is it possible, at least in theory, for us to withdraw our forces even if the Americans are still on the ground?
