Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
I am a member of the Territorial Army that the Prime Minister is so keen to praise and someone who is proud to have been on operational service three times in the past eight years of this Government, and, as such, he has made my blood boil today. Everybody knows that last October's announcement of troop withdrawal numbers was a cynical, political manipulation. Will he show just an ounce of the courage being shown by our brave servicemen and women and apologise to the House today?
