Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
The Secretary of State announced this afternoon that the 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment based in Colchester garrison is to be deployed yet again to Iraq—no happy family Christmas for its members to look forward to. Without putting a time limit on that deployment, can the right hon. Gentleman give an indication of how long the 2nd Battalion will be in Iraq this time before it is replaced by other British troops? Can he also tell us what percentage of the British Army has served in Iraq over the period that we have been there?
