Martin Linton asked what proportion of UK forces which have served in Iraq have been reserve forces. When Adam Ingram repied that it was about 10%, Linton invited Ingram to join him in "paying tribute to the 202 members of the London Regiment who served in Basra". He went on to talk about the greater maturity of members of the Territorial Army and how this proved the usefulness of reserve forces in "peacebuilding and peacekeeping" missions.
