INQUIRY INTO AFGHAN WAR

That this House calls for an inquiry into the conduct of the Afghan War, especially the incursion into Helmand province, as requested by Mrs Hazel Hunt of Abergavenny, the mother of Richard Hunt, the 200th British fatality in the war, and as recommended by Lord Ashdown who wrote in The Mirror newspaper on 27 October 2014 that the UK in Afghanistan has written the textbook on how not to conduct a war; and believes that an inquiry would inform the House of errors made in order to avoid involvement in future unnecessary conflicts.
