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


Afghanistan

The Secretary of State made an optimistic statement about Afghanistan. Will he comment on the way in which the Taliban's tactics appear to have changed into that of a guerrilla war against an occupying force? Increasingly, there is pressure on those forces to cross into Pakistan. What effect will that have on the politics of Pakistan? How long does he expect British troops to remain in Afghanistan?
