Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

My Lords, given that some troops now have to return to Iraq for the third time and the consequences for recruitment that the Minister has confirmed, and given the recurrence of grave public disorder in Northern Ireland and the consequential pressure being put on the PSNI, was not the decision not to relocate but to disband four battalions a misjudgment which the Government now regret?
