Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
My Lords, I am sure that we all welcome the news that troop levels are going to be reduced and that the figure of 2,500 was mentioned as a target. When we get to that level, we will clearly be in the business of training, not war-fighting or even counter-insurgency. Does that mean that we can look to the Iraqi Government to fund the training effort that we are providing or will it continue to be a charge on the British purse?
