DEATH IN AFGHANISTAN

Early day motion 2350, tabled 12 June 2006 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House records its sorrow at the first death of a British soldier in the Helmand Province and salutes the courage and professionalism of British troops; and fears that the mission is an impossible one that will strengthen the Taliban, lead to more British deaths, the Columbia-isation of Central Asia and possibly deteriorate into a British Vietnam.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 1, Scottish National Party 1.
