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

The hon. Lady is entirely right, and no one is suggesting that NATO troops be placed on the ground—indeed, the Government have eloquently set out how non-African troops could be a magnet for conflict, rather than a help in resolving it—but it is clear that only an organisation such as NATO has the heavy lift equipment and the logistical support to give real muscle and mobility to African troops on the ground. I would be grateful if the Secretary of State addressed that point.
