Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 January 2010. It occurred during Topical debate on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

On that first objective, given that it will still take a long time to bring the Afghan security forces up to speed, will the Foreign Secretary address the central concern that in Helmand province, for example, the Americans will have twice the number of troops but cover only one third of the population? When it comes to counter-insurgency, does he agree that that ratio needs to be re-examined?
