Proceeding contribution from Sarah McCarthy-Fry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 February 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Navy.
Royal Navy
It is interesting to hear the hon. Gentleman’s comments about reductions to 25. Would he care to comment on the report for the Economic Research Council—which I understand is chaired by Lord Biffen, who was a Minister in Mrs. Thatcher’s Conservative Government—which calls for the Royal Navy’s fleet of frigates and destroyers to be slashed from 25 to 14 and for investment in unmanned aerial drones? Will that be the future Conservative policy?
