Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.


Defence Policy

The hon. Gentleman's strong point is made even more powerful when one reflects on the fact that Afghanistan is a tribal society. The danger is that, in seeking to expand so quickly, there will be parallels with Northern Ireland, for example, with disproportionate numbers of recruits coming from the north and thus being less acceptable to the population as a whole.
