Proceeding contribution from Andrew Mitchell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 May 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Darfur Crisis.


Darfur Crisis

When the Secretary of State comes to address that point, will he advise us what else is meant by a UN force? Clearly, it is possible to re-hat the African Union soldiers, who are, within the constraints upon them, doing such a good job, but have there been discussions with NATO about providing logistical support—heavy lift support? There are, for example, 2,000 French troops close to the Chad-Darfur border, with aircraft. Clearly, NATO could make a significant contribution to a UN force. What consideration has been given to that?
