Proceeding contribution from Peter Kilfoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
It is not only distinguished ex-military personnel, but they have been fairly outspoken. I would far sooner listen to people who have been on the front line than the armchair generals of the television studios or newspaper columns. Ted Postol, the man who designed the Trident system, has pointed out that it could be adapted for the needs of our country, if that is what we wish, instead of spending an as yet indeterminate sum replacing it.
