Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Procurement.


Defence Procurement

The other point that the hon. Gentleman ought to make is that some members of the coalition in Afghanistan have not been playing their part. They should have been supporting our troops much better, and the use of their equipment should have been offered, rather than our having to scrounge around. That is the reality: we have been let down by our partners. Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that they should take up some of the weight that has been placed on our shoulders?
