Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
May I make a constructive suggestion from the sharp end? One of the biggest problems with NATO is that the procurement cycle works so slowly that in their haste individual nations end up spending money themselves rather than waiting for NATO to catch up. At Kandahar airport, for example, we have no fewer that four different points of departure to get on aeroplanes from individual nations because we have been waiting so long to get a NATO asset in place.
