Proceeding contribution from Marquess of Lothian (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the United Kingdom.


Defence in the United Kingdom

I am grateful for the Secretary of State’s clarification and obviously I accept what he has to say. My statement—I was going to refer to it again—was based on an understanding that our commander in Basra is concerned about the influx of Iranian weapons and Iranian insurgents, and has looked for further troop reinforcements to help him to prevent that incursion across the border. If that is not the case, I accept what the Secretary of State has to say.
