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


Iraq

My Lords, can the Minister comment a little further on the Reserve Forces and the amount of support being given? He has already told us about the support that will be given to the 7th Armoured Brigade. However, it is vitally important that in the future—in the medium term and further on—roulement units go at full strength. We know that they are under strength in this country as they stand and that they have to be supported by the Reserve Forces. Can the Minister give the House some idea of how sustainable that will be in the medium and longer term?
