Afghanistan

Asked whether the Prime Minister was concerned about cross party support for the deployment of troops to Afghanistan, the PMOS said it was for others to talk about whether they supported the deployment or not. We had been very clear about the reasons why the deployment was necessary. Those reasons had been set out by the Defence Secretary and were to support the democratically elected Afghan Government as it tried to create the physical, economic and political infrastructure that was necessary for a state to survive and overcome those who would wish to return to the days of the Taliban.
