Proceeding contribution from Ann Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.

Iraq

I very much welcome the Prime Minister's announcement about the extra 140 Mastiff vehicles, which will be exceptionally welcome to our troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Will he confirm that the cost will be borne by the Treasury and will not come out of the Army budget? In addition, will he ensure that any necessary medium protected patrol vehicles—they are greatly needed, particularly in Iraq—will be provided and that modern doctrine will be overturned so that those vehicles that are procured will be designed to ensure maximum protection for our troops? I am talking about V-shaped hull vehicles.
