Given our overstretch and the regrettable reluctance of European Union NATO countries to take on their share in Afghanistan, does the Minister not agree that those countries should bear the brunt of any troop deployment for peacekeeping purposes in Kosovo?

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has just told me that there are 18,000 NATO troops in Kosovo. We share responsibility for the reserve with Italy and Germany. It happens that, in 2008, that responsibility falls to us, and we have prepared for that deployment, which is all catered for within our assumptions. As I have said, 1 Welsh Guards will take on that responsibility for the first three months; after that, the responsibility will fall to 2 Rifles.

As part of our long-standing commitment to the Balkans, the UK remains ready to deploy a battalion to Kosovo until the end of 2008, as part of the NATO pan-Balkans operational reserve force. Any deployment would be for an initial period of 30 days, after which we will re-examine the requirement with NATO. The 1 Welsh Guards is currently on standby to deploy if necessary.

I am grateful for that answer. Is the Secretary of State satisfied that sufficient progress is being made in training Iraqi security forces? Does he agree that it is essential for the UK to put maximum pressure on the Iraqi Government to improve their capabilities, so that we can withdraw British troops when that is consistent with not creating a less stable situation in Iraq?

I am satisfied that progress has been made. It would be complacent to suggest from the Dispatch Box that we could not do better in training Iraqi forces, because I believe that we could. However, the forces whom we have dedicated to the role do a magnificent job in training Iraqi forces and also in improving the Iraqi police service, especially as we move through Basra city in Operation Sinbad, as we have done in past months and as we will do in future months. The hon. Gentleman is correct to say that the ability of the Iraqi security forces to handle the security of that country is key to our ability to draw down. That is not lost on anybody with an understanding of Iraq.

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to seek a new settlement
plan for the EU for the Cyprus problem which does not involve the indefinite presence in Cyprus of foreign troops. [173224]
Mr. MacShane: We will continue to work with all sides with a view to realising the ultimate objective of achieving a just, lasting
and comprehensive settlement so that we can see a reunited Cyprus within the EU.
We believe the UN Secretary General's comprehensive plan established the best possible basis for achieving a settlement. We welcomed
the fact that the settlement would have seen a reduction in Greek and Turkish troop numbers to a purely symbolic level. It is now
time for reflection on the deal that was rejected and a considered examination of where we go from here.
We look forward to the UN Secretary General's report on the settlement talks as an important first step in that process. In the
meantime there is no prospect of a renegotiation of the UNSG's plan, including the provision for a limited number of Greek and
Turkish troops to remain. Any change in this would have to be by mutual agreement of the parties concerned.
