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


NATO Summit

First, on the question of reducing the number of command posts, the announcement was this weekend, and the intention is that the drive for efficiency should start at once. I believe that we will see progress within a few months. It is important that we should keep the pressure on and that progress should be made. Secondly, the important agreement with Russia that we should have a new overland route for convoys and other aspects of military support is extremely welcome. I cannot add any more to what I have already said on that, and it may not be possible to do so at this stage.
