Proceeding contribution from Adam Ingram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 November 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Modernising Logistics Provision.

Modernising Logistics Provision

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for that comment, and he is right that we have to tackle those inefficiencies. Every penny saved is a penny that goes to the front line. The arrangement with the Treasury is that if we do not save the £2.8 billion, there will not be an investment in the front line. We have to do it. It will be a hard target to reach, but it will ultimately be good for our defence and the men and women on the front line. That is why I will continue to press on with it.
