Proceeding contribution from Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
That is a slight extrapolation from what is the case. We are overstretched because we are in Iraq. In the 1998 strategic defence review it was envisaged that we would be able to operate only on one major front. The decision in 2003 led to two major fronts—Afghanistan and Iraq. That is why we are in this situation today.
