Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the problems with planning operations is that the Ministers no longer listen to defence chiefs’ advice as they used to? The planning for the Afghanistan operation left troop numbers woefully short. Does he agree that Ministers should have listened more carefully to the military advice?
