Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.


NATO Summit

We are making very good progress in training up the Afghan police and army. We are a little ahead of schedule. The key thing about this NATO summit was to get other countries to commit to adding to the training mission. There were some very welcome developments, such as the Canadians who, in pulling back on the combat forces front, committed to the training mission. As I said, Britain added another 320 trainers. I think we are on target to deliver the sort of Afghan national security forces we need to complete our drawdown by 2014.
