Proceeding contribution from Lord James of Blackheath (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces.


Armed Forces

My Lords, the vehicles were bought back for £17,000 per vehicle. Health and safety required £18,000 per vehicle extra spent on it. When they arrived, the troops had already walked to Iraq and did not any longer so they were all sold for £6,500 each. I have made my point.
