Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.


EU Council/Afghanistan, India and Pakistan

There are other means by which the rebuilding of infrastructure is taking place in Afghanistan. The importance of clearing the roads of bombs and making the roads safe was mentioned earlier. The dam project is moving ahead as a result of international action and a lot of reconstruction is taking place in Afghanistan itself, so I do not think that a multi-agency taskforce should be the organisation that deals with corruption. The relationships at the centre of Afghanistan are trying to move forward the reconstruction, and of course, we are taking action in Helmand itself to build new facilities.
