Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.

I am sure the Prime Minister will agree that despite the large number of American troops left in the Basra area, the withdrawal of British troops will create a power vacuum. Will he outline the contingency plans for the re-engagement of British troops? That assumes, of course, that the extra numbers relieved from there have not been sent to Afghanistan.
