Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

May I remind the right hon. Gentleman that the statement about the possible withdrawal of numbers of troops from Iraq was made, extremely unwisely and rashly, by the Prime Minister when he was in Iraq? Some of us believe that to have been a cynical pre-election stunt. Will the Secretary of State define for the House the overwatch obligations and commitments to which he refers but which he never enumerates?
