Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 October 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Chinese People's Liberation Army.


Chinese People's Liberation Army

No, I will not give way again. I hope that my explanation reassures the hon. Gentleman that military engagement with China is properly thought through, appropriate and coherent with our allies' efforts. The fact that a military as large as the People's Liberation Army place such great value on the training, doctrine and experience of our much smaller armed forces reflects great credit on our military. I am sure that he will join me, if not in anything else, in acknowledging our armed forces' deservedly high reputation for military excellence. Question put and agreed to.
