Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
We expect a lot of our troops and they never let us down, and now is not the time to call for British troops to be withdrawn from Iraq. However, how difficult is it for the Secretary of State to recruit and retain those troops at the moment? Will he give us current figures for recruitment and retention, not only in the Regular Army, but the Territorials? Is he worried, as I am, about overstretch in Iraq?
