Lord Astor of Hever
My Lords, staff who have trod the ground with us, such as patrol interpreters and their FCO and DfID equivalents, have endured a level of danger over a sustained period, shoulder to shoulder with us in Helmand province. Their contribution to what we have been able to achieve there was made in a uniquely difficult and dangerous environment. We will not abandon them.
Lord Cormack (Con)
My Lords, will my noble friend place in the Library a detailed analysis of the comparative treatment by various countries? He says that it is broadly similar; many of us would like to see the details and the facts.
Lord Astor of Hever
My Lords, I am very happy to write to the noble Lord, Lord West, and put a copy of my letter in the Library.
