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

Will the hon. Gentleman tell the leader of his party that he should not criticise the Prime Minister for making what I consider to have been the right decision when the Government interceded in the investigation of the al-Yamamah deal with Saudi Arabia? He will recall that Conservative international development spokesmen tabled a motion to be debated on the Floor of the House—with which I know the hon. Gentleman did not agree—criticising the involvement of BAE Systems in Tanzania.
