Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Counter-Insurgency (Iraq/Afghanistan).

Counter-Insurgency (Iraq/Afghanistan)

I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will agree with me about this. When looking at FRES, the Defence Committee learned that the military could not make up their minds about their requirements. They continuously changed their minds, and pressure was created because nobody had a clear indication of what was actually needed. The Defence Committee should take some of the credit for getting the military to look differently at how they were assessing their requirements.
