Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan (Force Levels).


Afghanistan (Force Levels)

Provincial reconstruction teams remain the cornerstone of our progress in Afghanistan. In today’s statement it is significant that, for the first time, our troops will be operating in two provinces—Nimruz to the west of Helmand and Daykondi to the north of Kandahar—where no provincial reconstruction teams currently exist. What plans are there to put PRTs in those provinces, bearing in mind that six months ago scoping reports were set out? The Danes, for example, were going to go to Nimruz. However, as far as I am concerned, there are currently no PRTs there and no nations offering to put PRTs there.
