Proceeding contribution from Gerald Howarth (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.

Defence Procurement

I think that my right hon. and hon. Friends will be amused to hear that. As the Minister and others have said from the Dispatch Box, there are a lot of programmes on which they cannot tell us that a decision has been made. This would appear to be a prolonged EP08, and we await a decision on it. I am prepared to wager money that we will get a statement on the day before the House rises next month, or possibly on the day that it actually rises. We shall have to wait and see.
