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


Modernising Logistics Provision

Will the Minister confirm that in his response to the shadow Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Mr. Howarth), he said that he had not reduced ABRO’s capability, but had increased its efficiency? If, as I believe, he said that, will he explain the efficiency measures that he has taken to allow the sizable reduction of 944 jobs while retaining the same capability, or is the truth that he kept those people employed until after the election, even though there was no economic case for doing so?
