Proceeding contribution from Lord Wright of Richmond (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan: UK Forces.


Afghanistan: UK Forces

My Lords, I apologise for not having been here for the Statement and also apologise if it covered the question that I ask. Has serious thought been given to turning some of the poppy crop into pharmaceutical purposes in order to reduce the hardship that undoubtedly follows from the destruction of the poppies?
