Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.


Afghanistan

The Prime Minister has made it very clear that, although we would like to see British troops coming home as soon as possible—which family of any member of our armed forces would not want to see that?—that will happen when conditions on the ground are appropriate. As I said today—I repeat the Government's position—it may be possible to see some troops coming home this year, but that will be dependent on the conditions on the ground.
