London, Aug 3 (Xinhua) Britain has rejected claims that its military mission in Afghanistan was undermined by a failure to provide the army force with clear direction.

British responsibility in Afghanistan have been abstracted by unrealistic planning at senior levels and poor coordination between government departments, the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said in a report published Sunday.

'We recommend that in the immediate future the government should refocus its efforts to concentrate its limited resources on one priority, namely security,' the committee said.

The efforts to take a 'comprehensive approach' linking security with development and governance in south Afghanistan were 'faltering' and a growing list of responsibilities, including anti-drug fights, human rights and reconstructing seems too much for British military, the report said.

However, British Defence Minister Bill Rammell was quoted by Britain's Sky news as saying that 'We are focused on security and I think, with respect, the Foreign Affairs Committee is a bit behind the game.
