Taunton MP Adrian Flook has joined the growing clamour for answers from Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon.
Mr Flook has accused Mr Hoon of giving him false assurances that British troops would be properly equipped for action in last year's Iraq War.
The Taunton MP was speaking after it was revealed that Sgt Steve Roberts was killed after being forced to hand back his body armour because of shortages.
