Proceeding contribution from Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that one way of meeting harmony guidelines would be to minimise the number of armed forces personnel on operations? He accepts that when Tornado replaces Harrier, the uplift for ground personnel will be some 50 per cent. more than at the moment. However, will he reassure the House that the decision to replace Tornado with Harrier will not be made until Tornado meets its final operating capability and that that will be the driver, not the artificial internal planning date of 1 April 2009?
