Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

Following directly from that, does the Secretary of State agree that one of the key issues is that of patrolling the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan? To do that, we need to fulfil the terms of NATO's combined joint statement of requirements—in other words, provide more troops. Does the Secretary of State agree that that is the only way we can avoid the catastrophe of the forces of Afghanistan or Pakistan making incursions into the other? What more can we do about that patrolling?
