Proceeding contribution from Steve Baker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Armed Forces in Afghanistan.


UK Armed Forces in Afghanistan

My right hon. Friend may know that in Wycombe, Afghanistan is an issue of exquisite sensitivity. Many of my constituents hail from Pakistan and Kashmir. I really admire his nuanced and wise speech, but does he agree that it is vital to address various sections of the public to explain that this conflict is actually in the interests of Pakistan and of the Afghan people, and not just in our own interests?
