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


Defence Procurement

The hon. Gentleman is right that I did not mention Trident in my remarks. Just a few months ago, there was a White Paper, a three-month consultation and a debate that took a decision on Trident. People are free to say what they like, but I did not think it necessary to comment on that when covering the range of defence procurement, given that the House had commented on it so comprehensively—at least, it had the opportunity to do so.
