Proceeding contribution from Lord Lee of Trafford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate and Debate on select committee report on Middle East and Afghanistan.
Middle East and Afghanistan
My Lords, today’s debate on the Middle East and Afghanistan is my first opportunity to contribute as a defence spokesperson since I was a defence procurement Minister in the other place over 20 years ago. I am recalled to the colours following the very sad, almost brutal death of our dear colleague, Tim, Lord Garden. He entered your Lordships’ House following a distinguished military career, and his military experience and opinions carried huge respect here and beyond. I come after Tim, but in no way can I say I follow him. We all miss him greatly, no one more so than my noble friend Lady Garden, who is with us today.
