Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and Afghanistan Update.
Iraq and Afghanistan Update
I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement today. I visited Helmand province with the Select Committee on Defence in July and I can tell him that the men and women of the Army and Air Force we met there showed a high degree of bravery and morale is very high. We also visited Lashkar Gah and the provincial reconstruction team there. Does my right hon. Friend agree that, if press reports that the brave DFID officer has been withdrawn are true, that will be a retrograde step?
