Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (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
There is another point that the Government need to take into account. We have to make sure that our NATO allies play fair with us. In Afghanistan so many other NATO countries have so many caveats that it is always UK troops who have to step up to the plate, and as the costs of operations fall where they lie the UK Army has to meet the lion’s share, which means that there is a double hit in terms of overstretch.
