Speaking in the House of Commons about the UK’s involvement in Afghanistan, Mr Cameron said:

“…there is no purely military solution; very few insurgencies are ended by purely military means. But I think it is important to continue with the strategy this year of the military surge, to put pressure on the Taliban–and, of course, there should be a political track.”
