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


NATO Summit

The Prime Minister is right to say that the country has paid a tremendous debt to Afghanistan in terms of the cost to our country. He said earlier that he would send a message to our friends and allies by setting a deadline, but he also sends a message to our enemies by setting that deadline. What impact does he think the deadline will have on al-Qaeda and the Taliban? Does he think that it will make them more likely to want to negotiate?
