Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Afghanistan and Pakistan
My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend, especially for his last comment, which is proof that there is determination in Pakistan for the Army to fight on. We will continue to put pressure on our EU friends and colleagues to support Pakistan. The Kerry-Luger Bill, which is currently going through in the United States, will provide $7.5 billion-worth of aid for Pakistan which, when it is disbursed, will be a major boost for Pakistan. My noble friend was right to bring to my attention and the attention of the House the deaths of Pakistani soldiers and Pakistani civilians, who have been sorely hit by terrorists in recent times.
