Proceeding contribution from Lord Browne of Ladyton (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 am not in the business of making estimates of the number of people who have died, any more than I would be in the business of estimating the number whom Saddam Hussein killed, or the number of citizens of Afghanistan who gave their lives to secure the freedom and the democratically elected Government they now enjoy. However, if I were to estimate the number that Saddam Hussein killed and the number of Afghans who have given their lives to secure that freedom, I suspect that, in both cases, it would be in the millions.
