Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Afghanistan.
Afghanistan
My Lords, I thank the Leader of the House for repeating the Statement. In it, reference is made to the importance of equipping our forces in Afghanistan. A commitment was made in the strategic defence and security review to order more helicopters. The noble Baroness, Lady Royall, asked whether those helicopters had yet been ordered. If they have been delayed, is there not a fear that the Treasury will argue that they could not be in theatre before our withdrawal is started?
