AFGHAN CASUALTIES

Early day motion 445, tabled 14 December 2009 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House salutes the courage and dedication of Britain's soldiers in Afghanistan; regrets the comment by Army Chief General Sir David Richards that the Afghan campaign should not be judged by casualties alone; asserts that wounds of bereavement suffered by the loved ones of the 237 fallen will never heal, and that the loss of arms, legs, genitals, eyesight, hearing and mental faculties suffered by 1,000 seriously injured soldiers are of supreme importance that should be the UK's prime concern in determining future strategy.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 2.
