Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.


Defence in the UK

I am coming to the point on which the hon. Gentlemen probably want to intervene. Hon. Members will be aware that progress on defence training review package 1 has been more difficult and prolonged than expected. However, I can report that considerable progress has been made in driving down costs and towards achieving an affordable, value-for-money package 1, which is on track for an investment decision next spring, with the contract signature to come approximately 15 months later.
