Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.

I fear that, with deployment after deployment, year after year, the mental health problems we face now, if unchecked, could become a mental health crisis, partly because our armed forces are operating at a tempo for which they are neither fully resourced nor fully manned.
