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


Trident

Of course I shall be brief. The right hon. Gentleman was speaking so frankly that I wanted to give him an extra minute. He mentioned the proportion of the budget to be taken by Trident and its replacement. Does he agree that if there is to be a continual reduction in the overall defence budget, more and more will be taken from the conventional forces that he and I want to be robustly maintained?
