Proceeding contribution from Linda Gilroy (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 know that the hon. Gentleman is in many respects a very fair person, and that he would want to pay tribute to the British Legion for its part in bringing about some of the changes. Pressure has come from all quarters. Does he agree with his fellow shadow spokesperson, the hon. Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox), who as recently as 14 September said, of the few things identified as extra in the Forsyth report, that as far as the Conservative party is concerned:"““It's a matter of priority within the budget””."
