Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.

NATO Summit

I agree with so much of what the Prime Minister has said, but there is one area about which I continue to be concerned. Why did he feel he had to say publicly that there would be a deadline of 2015? A timetable for 2014 had already been set, and he knows that some Government Members, including even some Ministers, have struggled and still struggle to use the same words as he does. Why did he feel that he had to say publicly that there is to be a complete end to the combat mission in 2015?
