Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
I congratulate my hon. Friend on initiating this debate. I went to the DRC some four years ago. One of the key issues then was the command structure. MONUC has had some problems with sexual abuse by some of its forces, and it will function properly only if an appropriate command structure is in place. Obviously, that is a key requirement. We saw British officers there, and it would be good to hear from the Secretary of State what we intend to do to maintain our role. On that issue, could my hon. Friend say something about what she saw when she was in the DRC?
