Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Industrial Strategy.


Defence Industrial Strategy

For blatantly obvious reasons the right hon. Gentleman will not expect me to tell him how I intend to conduct those negotiations. His points are relevant. We have made it plain that we must have the technological capability to upgrade, as well as maintain, the joint strike fighter, which is an essential element of our future carrier and other requirements, for its through-life capability. We continue to insist that that is the case.
