Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 May 2013. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Operation Herrick.
Operation Herrick
It will not represent a slippery slope and it is not a change in doctrine. I am hesitant to call it a one-off since my hon. Friend has just given an example of another occasion on which nine-month tours were served. There are already people in theatre who are
serving tours of nine months or longer in specific posts, so it is not unknown, but there is no intention to make a general change to the operational deployment of six-month tours.
