Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The French are alleged to have withdrawn their special forces from Helmand province. Given the pressure that our forces are under, that seems completely at variance with the statement made by the Defence Secretary after the Riga summit. If, as the Foreign Secretary indicated, she has not familiarised herself with that position, when will she do so, and when will she make representations to the French?
