Britain and International Security

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on Britain and International Security.

My hon. Friend rightly mentions the quality of the weaponry that the peshmerga and the Kurdish forces use. Is he aware of the statement they have just made, to the effect that they are fighting people who have the most modern American equipment while they have to use Soviet-era matériel? Does he feel that we in this country could do more to assist the people who are actually there, on the ground, fighting that murderous, brutal band, which he so accurately describes?
