Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Procurement.


Defence Procurement

What on earth is the logic of abolishing DESO and then having a cross-departmental inquiry into how we might best support defence exports? Why not do things the other way round? Surely it makes sense to have the debate about how best to proceed before a decision is taken. What has been done sounds like madness to the rest of the House.
