Proceeding contribution from Dari Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Iraq: Future Strategic Relationship.


Iraq: Future Strategic Relationship

I am quite concerned, and would like to ask my right hon. Friend whether I have got this right. I listened to the debate about Operation Charge of the Knights, and I believed that the Chief of the Defence Staff made it quite clear to us that our forces' involvement in that episode was to help"““to improve the conditions in the city and set the foundations for future progress””." I would appreciate it if my right hon. Friend would go back over that episode, and state whether I have interpreted Sir Jock Stirrup's words correctly.
