Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Selkirk of Douglas (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 28 June 2011.


Armed Forces: Overstretch

Question
My Lords, can my noble friend confirm that with regard to Libya, whatever resources are necessary to see the matter through to a successful conclusion will continue to be made available?
Answer

My Lords, I can confirm that. The Treasury has agreed to meet these costs from the reserves and, as the Chief of the Defence Staff has said, we can sustain this operation as long as we choose. On that I am absolutely clear.
