Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on Trident.


Trident

Does the Secretary of State agree that it is possible to believe in both the independent nuclear deterrent and value for money? There is a distressing tendency for Ministry of Defence projects to go over time and over budget. Will she therefore welcome the assurance given to me by the Comptroller and Auditor General this week that he will carry out an innovative exercise and issue an ongoing assurance report on value for money, to ensure that we get real value for money on the project?
