Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.


Defence in the UK

I agree. It is vital that we invest in new training programmes and facilities. My hon. Friend never misses a chance to tell us that the greatest opportunity to do that is in St. Athan in his constituency. We need to take on defence training and to make sure that we stay at the cutting edge and get the new methodologies and equipment. The way to do that is through the defence training review, which will hugely benefit my hon. Friend's constituency. I hope it goes well and that we proceed to a final decision in the required time scale; I know that my hon. Friend supports that.
