Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) 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
There are two different statements there. We are all concerned about IEDs—improvised explosive devices—their origins, their numbers and any threat to the troops, but so far as I am aware, there is no truth in the claim that the commander has requested extra troops or reinforcements. Certainly I have not seen any such request, and I have therefore not refused it. That is the only point that I wish to put on the record.
