Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
Although the Secretary of State is right that troops on their own cannot provide the entire solution, troop density levels in counter- insurgency operations are still very important. Ten thousand British troops account for roughly two thirds of the population, and 20,000 Americans account for one third. Does he not think that that balance is out of kilter, and that we need to put it right?
