Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

The sad long list of names that the Secretary of State for Defence read at the beginning of his statement demonstrates that, while the House talks about sailors selling stories, soldiers face death and danger on a daily basis on the streets. Yet still they do not have the correct armoured vehicles in which to patrol and they expose themselves to unnecessary danger from Iranian weaponry and munitions. When will those soldiers get the tools to do the job?
