Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
Most unusually, I want to disagree with my hon. Friend. He said that he hoped that the level of 79 per cent. support would endure, but that figure says something worrying about 21 per cent. of the population. I pay tribute to the new Under-Secretary of State for Defence, the hon. Member for North Durham (Mr. Jones), for his work on support for our armed services. However, I will begin to feel satisfied when it reaches 99 per cent.
