Defence in the World
My predecessor, who did a tremendous job at the Dispatch Box, made it clear on a number of occasions that we had worked out our figures very carefully. At the last election, we were able to say categorically to the country that we would have saved those four frigates. We would have made that money available, and we would have saved the four battalions as well.
