Proceeding contribution from Linda Gilroy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.

My right hon. Friend mentioned the future surface combatant programme. Does he agree that, as with the future rapid effect system, or FRES, it will suffer from having a name that nobody understands? Will he please call a spade a spade and call it the future frigate programme?
