Proceeding contribution from John P Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on CSR and Aircraft Carriers.
CSR and Aircraft Carriers
May I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement this afternoon? It is confirmation, if confirmation were needed, that Labour is the true party of defence in this country. Given the large-scale spending commitments that he has announced, however, will he give the House an assurance that phase 2 and phase 3 military skills training will remain the No. 1 priority, and that today’s announcement will not have an adverse impact on the programme solution for the defence training rationalisation programme?
