Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
This week the EU announced its 3,000-man peacekeeping mission to Chad. No one suggests that that is not an appropriate action or an important role, but it will require airlift capacity and other logistic support. The Secretary of State was at the discussions with his EU partners. Will he tell the House what excuse they gave for being able to find airlift capacity and logistic support for the mission to Chad but not being able to provide additional support in Afghanistan, where we seem to be extremely short on the ground?
