Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
I endorse entirely my hon. Friend's comments, and I pay tribute to him for the interest that he has taken, at no small risk to himself, to ensure that he was closely acquainted with that campaign. In particular, if the environment is too dangerous for DFID to operate in, as it is, and if we are asking the armed forces to do more reconstruction, as we are, ought not the Government to consider taking some of the resources currently allocated to DFID and giving them to the armed forces to do the job?
