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


Afghanistan

I thank the Secretary of State for making his statement and also, on behalf of the House, for giving us the back-up information and for announcing in advance on the Order Paper that this statement was to be made. I would like to echo his tribute to our special forces, who are not often mentioned but who do a terrific and excellent job. How does my right hon. Friend propose to wake up the sleeping giants so that they contribute more to the operations?
