Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
There are many challenges in the defence budget, as the hon. Gentleman knows. Our people are stretched, and they have been working at above capacity in recent years. We do not deny that. I know that he honestly believes that we ought to commit to a huge increase in defence spending. Equally, however, he knows that his own party is not committed to such an increase.
