Proceeding contribution from Viscount Slim (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

My Lords, if I heard the Minister right, he mentioned that the right honourable gentleman the Secretary of State visited the 10th Iraqi division—I hope that I am correct. Yet he made no comment on its readiness for operations, its state of training, whether it has the communications to do the job and so on. Is it infiltrated by the militia, like certain parts of the police? Does the Minister know the state of that Iraqi division?
