Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mark Francois and Laura Sandys

Monday 20th October 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Francois]

I thank the hon. Lady for her bipartisan support for this vital mission, which the whole House will welcome. As I have already outlined, we will have around 750 troops in theatre by the end of this month. We will continue to keep the situation under review, and if further resources are required, we will of course consider that, but I reiterate to the House that we already make the second-largest commitment to the area, and we need to get our international partners to do more. We are doing our bit; we must get our international partners to do theirs.

[Laura Sandys (South Thanet) (Con)]
