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

I appreciate my hon. Friend's perspective. The military and civilian effort is in the service of a political strategy. A political settlement in Afghanistan involves three things: al-Qaeda being kept out, the tribes being kept on side, and the neighbours supporting stability. That is the sort of political settlement that my hon. Friend recognises and that we are seeking.
