Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and Afghanistan Update.
Iraq and Afghanistan Update
As long ago as February, Conservative Members warned the Government that in the event of serious resistance in Afghanistan, 16 Air Assault Brigade would not have the equipment, the firepower or, above all, the manpower that it required to do the job. Recognising that, 3 Commando Brigade planned to take two complete commandos out with it this autumn; yet it deployed with half the infantry that it had planned. Why is that?
