Proceeding contribution from Lord Robathan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Armed Forces Redundancies.


Armed Forces Redundancies

I know that the right hon. Gentleman played a very honourable part in the last Government explaining to the then Prime Minister how he was trying to increase operational capacity without increasing spending, and I know that he pointed out to the last Prime Minister that there was not enough money for our operational requirements. On the Royal Air Force in particular, as the Prime Minister said in October, and as the Chief of the Air Staff has confirmed and explicitly stated in his article, we wish to see an uplift in real-terms defence spending from 2015. The Prime Minister has said that.
