Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Democratic Republic of the Congo.


Democratic Republic of the Congo

I am slightly alarmed that the Minister has mentioned military force. Will he itemise which elements of the British armed forces have already been warned off for a possible deployment to the DRC? Will he also confirm that that would not involve any of the scarce elements of our strategic airlift capacity, which are fully involved in Afghanistan? Will he also tell us what he is doing with our European allies to ensure that any possible European deployment to the DRC will not cut into their commitments in Afghanistan?
