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 sure that the hon. Gentleman has a national interest too, but he has a particular interest in this matter and, obviously, he pursues it. I am not saying that the costs have not changed. I am saying that we still have an affordable package that is far cheaper than the alternatives, and that has been worked on over the summer. We will be able to go ahead with defence package 1 and get value for money out of those proposals.
