Afghanistan

Put that as Des Browne was now back from Afghanistan and back at the MOD, was there any Government concern at the rising toll in Afghanistan, the PMS replied that as Des Browne had said in his interview, the fatalities were a matter of deep regret.

Put that when the Defence Secretary had said that the commitment in Afghanistan was for the long term, was there any idea of how long that might be, the PMS replied that as Des Browne had said, there were 42 other countries who were represented there in Afghanistan, 37 being military efforts. The operations would be guided by both the Commanders on the ground, as well as the political security situation.

Put that as we had taken over the control of Helmand from another nation, was there any sign that another nation might be willing to take over from us, the PMS replied that she was not going to get into speculation about the operations on the ground.
