Proceeding contribution from Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
I hear what the Secretary of State says about improved security in Afghanistan. I often think that the poppy crop is an indicator of security in the country. I have heard the various policies that he has espoused to tackle the poppy crop, but it has increased year upon year. In fact, it was lower in the Taliban years than it is now. Can the Secretary of State explain why we have not managed to tackle the poppy crop?
