Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces: Reserves.


Armed Forces: Reserves

My Lords, is the Minister in a position to comment on the part of the Statement that says that reservist training will be refocused with a greater emphasis on preparation to support current operations? We have been in Afghanistan, for instance, for a while. We have all known for a long time that it could be a very long haul. Why has it taken us this long to come to this staggeringly obvious conclusion?
