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

Defence Procurement

My right hon. Friend referred to the fact that our armed forces are small, but an even smaller number of contractors supply them. Soon, there may be only one contractor to supply us with certain equipment and we are going into partnerships, so how can my right hon. Friend guarantee that, in the consultation and negotiations, we get value for money?
