Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on British Troops (Helmand Province).

British Troops (Helmand Province)

No doubt the hon. Gentleman heard Prime Minister’s questions today; did he notice that the Leader of the House refused to call the engagement a war, and twice called it a mission instead? Would he, like me, feel more comfort if there was a definite, well-planned exit strategy for this war? Does he agree that other NATO countries, particularly our European neighbours, are not sharing their part of the burden in front of the fire?
