Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. He drew attention to Afghanistan. This debate takes place as soldiers from 16 Air Assault Brigade from Colchester garrison are being deployed to Afghanistan for the fourth time. The second recommendation in paragraph 11 of the Defence Committee's report goes thus:"““The capacity of the country even to sustain current in-use capabilities and therefore current operations could well be put at risk by the proposed cuts of between 10% and 20%.””" Would he care to respond to that comment from the Select Committee, please?
