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

Defence Procurement

My hon. Friend is making an absolutely central point. It is interesting that the Government have not so far said how the replacement for Trident will be funded. The Minister—who is not listening—might like to intervene on him to let us know precisely what plans they have to fund it. If it comes out of the MOD’s budgets, the MOD will be even more overstretched than it is at the moment.
