To ask the Secretary of State for Defence with reference to the answer of 24 November 2008, Official Report, column 1517W, on Afghanistan: military aircraft, for what reasons he made the statement ‘that I cannot understand why you are telling people otherwise', in the text of an Answer to a Parliamentary Question.

The hon. Member and I have discussed this issue and we will continue to do so.
