Today in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister made a statement regarding the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR). The Statement was wide-ranging and he said that the review would mean there were no cuts whatsoever in the support for our forces in Afghanistan.
John asked:
“Despite the futility of the Afghanistan War, our troops deserve the greatest support and yet in the past they have suffered from lack of equipment and numbers. Will the Prime Minister guarantee the review will ensure that not only will there be no cuts in support, but that there will be increased support should our troops require it?”
The Prime Minister said that this would be guaranteed.
John said afterwards:
“In the past Ministers have claimed our troops have been fully supported but this was not the case. The Prime Minister is absolutely right to promise this will never happen again.”
