British Troops In Afghanistan

EDM number 1580 in 2005-06, proposed by Paul Flynn on 07/02/2006.

That this House applauds the courage and professionalism of British troops in Afghanistan; believes their task of destroying opium crops is an impossible mission; and believes with regret that the deployment of troops to the Helmand province will perversely provoke new violence and drive local farmers into support for the Taliban.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
