Proceeding contribution from Chris Mullin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

I pay tribute to my constituent, Private Cuthbertson, who was killed in Afghanistan last week. May I ask the Secretary of State what assurance he can give regarding steps being taken to avoid civilian casualties in Afghanistan? As he will know, in the past there have been a large number of civilian casualties, which has been a source of friction between NATO forces and President Karzai. I would be grateful to know what we are doing to minimise them and what recompense is available when they occur.
