Afghanistan

Put that President Karzai had suggested that, in a conversation with the Prime Minister, there had been a threat to withdraw British troops from Helmand Province if a former governor was reinstated, the Prime Minister s Spokesman (PMS) said that he did not recognise that as a description of any conversation the Prime Minister had had with President Karzai. We were committed to Afghanistan and to maintaining our troops in Afghanistan.

Asked when the Prime Minister and President Karzai had last spoken, the PMS said it would have been when the Prime Minister was in Afghanistan in August.
