Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan and Yemen.


Afghanistan and Yemen

Yes. The communiqué issued after the meeting gave a rather wider range of factors. Obviously, the presence of al-Qaeda on the Arabian peninsula in Yemen is a recent sign that it is willing to launch attacks outside the region as within it, and that is very significant. However, I assure the right hon. and learned Gentleman that the security effort is not limited to coastal matters.
