Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

Although the Secretary of State said that 50,000 Afghan troops had now been trained, fewer than 10,000 of them have been fully equipped. What will NATO do about the shortfall in equipment, to ensure that the 50,000 trained Afghanis have the right equipment to allow them to participate in the sort of action in which British troops and others are currently involved?
