Proceeding contribution from Linda Gilroy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

I welcome the conditions-based approach, about which the Prime Minister has told us, on draw-down of troops, which will hopefully mean many more coming back to communities such as Plymouth. Does he associate himself with the calls made over the summer by General Dannatt and others not only for the Government, families and fellow service people to welcome our armed forces back, but for businesses and communities to do more to mark and recognise their service than they do at present?
