Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
I believe that the men and women of the British armed forces, their families and the British people will welcome my right hon. Friend's statement today. Is it not a fact that we are able to withdraw troops from Basra because of the success and professionalism of the British armed forces? Does my right hon. Friend agree that hon. Members on both sides of the House should be celebrating this announcement, rather than seeking to engage in party political posturing from the comfort of these Benches while the men and women of our armed forces are putting their lives on the line?
