Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

I want to refer to the hon. Gentleman's earlier point about the timing of the debate. My hon. Friend the Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) suggested that the debate was taking place now because the Government regard it as unimportant. Perhaps it is because they regard this debate as so important and yet embarrassing, because of the failures of Government policy, that they have decided to put it on this day.
