Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
This is not good enough. The hon. Gentleman started his speech by saying that the present contribution of 2.018 per cent. of GDP is not enough and should be more. We are not asking what he thinks the figure should be next year or the year after, but what it should be this year. If he is not prepared to say what the figure should be for this year, it is all party political posturing and he should be ashamed of himself.
