Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (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

I have a great deal of sympathy for what the Secretary of State has said and support much of it. However, can I take him back to the subject of Iraq and ask him whether our American allies have asked us specifically to replace the capability that other countries are taking out of Iraq between now and the end of the year? A gap will have to be filled, and I am curious to know whether we have had a specific request to fill that gap.
