Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8: 2006 Summit.


G8: 2006 Summit

My Lords, the Statement mentions urgent work on inserting an international security presence in which no doubt we shall be involved. The Statement comes hard on the heels of another on reinforcements to Afghanistan in which the strain on our resources was illustrated by the fact that we were counting platoons that we send out in reserve. The House is anxious about that. Can the Leader assure us that we shall be kept informed of any commitments of significant size that it intends to make in this instance?
