Proceeding contribution from Philip Dunne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
My right hon. and learned Friend is making a typically powerful speech. On the subject of recruitment and retention in both the regular Army and the Territorial Army, does he not think that it is an absolute disgrace that the Government are within a week of implementing a new pay round, and none of our professional men and women in the services have any idea what pay they will be entitled to from Wednesday of next week? When he was Secretary of State for Defence, would he have allowed such a shambolic situation?
