Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and the EU Council.


Afghanistan and the EU Council

Will the Prime Minister join me in paying tribute to our armed forces—not just those in combat roles, but those doing humanitarian work in areas where the international development agencies cannot operate—building bridges, building schools and so forth? Does that good work count towards the UN target of 0.7 per cent. of gross domestic product?
