Proceeding contribution from Marquess of Lothian (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 grateful to my hon. Friend for making that point. He knows that my Front-Bench colleague, my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Mr. Howarth), has repeatedly made the point that university air squadrons are a very good way not only to recruit pilots to the RAF but to train them. That is something that the Government fail to understand. They are driven by the Treasury, not by the realities.
