Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the United Kingdom.
Defence in the United Kingdom
: I am sure that my right hon. and learned Friend is aware that the Government recently changed the position of university air squadrons, which provide over 50 per cent. of pilots for the Royal Air Force. They have now stopped elementary flying training, at an alleged saving of £10,000 in total, yet it costs £1.8 million to train a fast-jet pilot. That change will discourage the recruitment that we need.
