Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.

Defence Procurement

Does it not demonstrate a failure of Her Majesty’s Government’s procurement policy that the new Type 45 destroyers should take to sea without their new anti-aircraft missile system when they begin operational deployment later this year? Why has that system been delayed so much, meaning that the new Type 45 destroyers are more vulnerable than they otherwise might be?
