Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.
Defence Procurement
Possibly to sort out the mess that the previous Conservative Government left in that contract. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that that was not the only poisoned legacy that the previous Conservative Government left? They left us a complete farce over the sale of Annington Homes, which has left the Army's housing stock in the hands of a private company. If the hon. Gentleman wants lessons in supporting our armed forces, let me remind him that the £1 billion-odd that the Conservatives got for that was taken straight out of the defence budget and used for tax cuts.
