He said the troops should be diverted to help in Haiti instead.

The former Lothians MSP said: "Instead of sending another 1,000 Scots Guards to Afghanistan, where they are not wanted, I suggest Gordon Brown send them to Haiti where they are."

Mr Fox will address a meeting at Edinburgh University's William Robertson Building in George Square tomorrow at 7:30pm.
