Proceeding contribution from John P Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
In short, that is not the problem we face, because this situation does not occur in other countries. The largest ethnic group who could be recruited are the Afro-Caribbeans, and they do not have the same sort of pressures within their community. In the US, the other ethnic minority groups that we are talking about have the highest recruitment levels, so, clearly, this process is done differently in the US.
