[...] Sir Richard said he "failed to recognise" comments attributed to him by Sir Sherard, who made the claims in written evidence to the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee. Sir Sherard said he had been told by Sir Richard that if he did not re-deploy battlegroups coming free from Iraq, he would lose them in a future defence review.
