Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.
Iraq
The Prime Minister quoted at length the report from the Defence Committee, but could he also take a look at another recent publication—the annual report and accounts of the Ministry of Defence? They show the worrying condition of our armed forces; fewer than half of our military units are able to deploy in an emergency, and that is the lowest proportion ever recorded by the MOD. When will the Prime Minister examine overstretch in our armed forces and do something about it?
