Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
The Secretary of State stressed the importance of security and intelligence, saying that he was not complacent. This has not been mentioned so far, but what role does he see for the spy in the sky—the Nimrod aircraft, particularly the upgraded MRA4? They could provide fantastic information from observation and reconnaissance not only over the Pakistan-Afghan border, but from elsewhere, to give warning about what the Taliban are doing and their movements.
