Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 May 2011. It occurred during Urgent question on Libya.
Libya
As I ordered the attack helicopters, I am rather disappointed to hear that no decision has been taken on their use. I agree entirely with the Minister that firing a missile from a rotary-wing aircraft as opposed to a fixed-wing aircraft is not an escalation, but does he agree that this decision would also help to address another issue of increasing concern, which is the airframe hours left in the Tornados? That matter is worrying a number of people.
