Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the UK.


Defence in the UK

I totally agree with support for the British defence industry, but can the hon. Gentleman explain why his party is playing politics with issues around arms exports to Saudi Arabia? We also had a ludicrous debate in this place about the export of radar systems to Tanzania. That is clearly playing politics with the issue and possibly damaging UK jobs.
