Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 April 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reserves (Review).
Reserves (Review)
I am sad that my hon. Friend sees a dark cloud. I urge him to read the review where he will see that there is no such thing. We are standing down the elements that are not relevant to defence requirement. For us to continue with that would be ridiculous in the extreme. No other cuts are proposed; this is a strategic review, designed to put the reserve in a better place. It ought to be seen not as a dark cloud but as an opportunity.
