Proceeding contribution from Julian Lewis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
May I remind the hon. Lady that the only reason why the figure of 2.5 per cent. is being bruited abroad rather than the 2.2 per cent. that the rate actually is, is the Prime Minister’s spin which is that the proportion remains roughly constant at 2.5 per cent. if the costs of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq are included? As we all know, those costs should be met separately from the Treasury reserve.
