Proceeding contribution from Adrian Bailey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
When our troops took on the role of overwatch, it was always likely that criminal and militant elements would seek to test the resilience of the Iraqi forces. I for one am heartened by the fact that they are sufficiently confident and competent to undertake this exercise. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the greatest disincentive against those elements continuing their activity will be the sure knowledge that British troops will stay there, bolstering competence, until they are defeated?
