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


Afghanistan (Force Levels)

Will the Secretary of State concede that article 5 of the north Atlantic treaty is based on mutual risk? Germany has aspirations to sit on the UN Security Council this week, and as my hon. Friend the Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) said, it has defence and foreign policy aspirations in relation to the European Union, too. Is it possible for the Secretary of State to ask the Germans whether they would be good enough to move some of their 3,000 troops in the north down to the south?
