Prime minister's questions

Advertisement

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has denied that basic training is being cut for Territorial Army troops being sent to Afghanistan.

Mr Brown was responding to a question from opposition leader David Cameron, who raised the case of a serving TA officer who had been told that he would be paid for only half the training days he was due to have before being deployed to Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg called on the PM to push for a government of national unity to be created in Afghanistan if President Karzai is declared the winner of what he called "flawed" elections.
