Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 July 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
Am I picking up correctly the thrust of the right hon. and learned Gentleman’s argument? Is Conservative policy on the Navy to retain numbers irrespective of the task that needs to be done or any change in the jobs that the Navy has to do nowadays? In that case, we should still have a Navy of cold-war size for a task that no longer exists.
