Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Industrial Strategy.
Defence Industrial Strategy
On the helicopter sector, may I, as MP for Yeovil and an economic liberal, say that the Secretary of State has managed to strike the right balance between the need to secure key sectors and the need to achieve value for money for taxpayers? I congratulate him on that. Can we expect an announcement early in 2006 on the key Future Lynx order, provided that it meets the value-for-money criteria? Will he assure me that he will not take any advice on the matter from Conservative Front-Bench Members?
