Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq.


Iraq

As the Defence Secretary has pointed out to me, we are looking into those smaller vehicles to which the hon. Lady has drawn our attention, as there are important issues about security and safety. As for her more general question, the £120 million that we are spending is covered by the defence settlement. Where there are urgent requirements, we are prepared to meet them and we have spent several hundred millions in the last few months and years in meeting those requirements of our troops.
