Proceeding contribution from Derek Twigg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 July 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

Although I am not completely convinced about the reasons for the movements that the Secretary of State described today, in fairness, I do not have the facts and intelligence that he has. I am also concerned about the Prime Minister's statement that we should be out of Afghanistan in five years, which has been repeated. Will that statement encourage or discourage the Taliban in their operations against our forces?
