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


Trident

The hon. Gentleman talked about receiving signals, but did he receive the signals given to the Defence Select Committee by the Royal Navy? It clearly understands the strategic importance of keeping our industrial base in this unique field and choreographing the important work that has to be done on our attack submarines as well as on our nuclear submarines. Does he understand that the delay that his party is calling for would deeply damage our skills base and its ability to continue this important work?
