Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.

Iraq

Did the right hon. Gentleman, when speaking to British servicemen, remind them that much of the fighting that has taken place was due to the Government's disastrous decision to disestablish the Iraqi army and police service? Did he remind them that, when they go to Afghanistan, they will be in much greater danger because of the Government's failure to give them proper equipment, and the Government's decision to deploy into Helmand province without getting proper assurances from other NATO allies about reinforcements?
