Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Armed Forces Redundancies.
Armed Forces Redundancies
The Minister says these cuts will have no impact on either Afghanistan or Libya, but can he confirm that, despite the leading role we have played in the Libya operation, we are providing only about 8% of the aircraft being used in the no-fly zone and the Chief of the Air Staff has today said that the Royal Air Force is stretched to breaking point? How does the Minister square the following three points: the stretch, the fact that we are providing only 8% of those aircraft, and his insistence that the cuts are having no effect on operations?
