Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 May 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Foreign Affairs and Defence.


Foreign Affairs and Defence

My hon. Friend makes an important point. The investigation and any prosecution of Ahmed Wali Karzai, far from being the first step, will be a step rather further down the road in tackling corruption in Afghanistan. However, the questions that I was asking about the Kandahar operation speak directly to the situation in southern Afghanistan and to whatever role Mr Ahmed Wali Karzai is playing in that part of the country.
