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


Afghanistan and Yemen

Other than the very welcome additional debt relief that my right hon. Friend mentioned in his statement, did any discussion take place during the conference about ways in which to enhance the alternative livelihoods programme in tackling the lethal narcotics trade? The alternative livelihoods programme is the only thing that has made any impact at all in halting the expansion of opium cultivation in Afghanistan.
