Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.
Defence Procurement
I was recently out in Afghanistan with my old regiment, 1st Battalion the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters—which the Government have chosen for some reason to rename—and people were cursing the Snatch Land Rover as wholly inadequate for those circumstances. I completely take the point about WMIC. Can we not therefore have more WMICs or WMIC variants but get rid of this wretchedly inadequate vehicle, which is a death trap to so many men and women?
