Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 October 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Territorial Army.
Territorial Army
I know that my hon. Friend has an enormous commitment to the Territorial Army. Nevertheless, with respect, I do not agree with his assertion. There are no easy options in managing the defence budget. Let us consider the challenges that we are facing this year: a significant uplift in recruits to the regular Army, reduced income from estate disposal and exchange rate fluctuations. I can honestly say to my hon. Friend that there are no easy options.
