Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Policy.


Defence Policy

I am not entirely clear whether those other countries would be offered the opportunity to have bases in Scotland. Let us be clear about SNP policy on defence jobs and spending in Scotland. It is predicated on the idea that all the existing UK forces would remain in Scotland, except those on the Trident base. So in circumstances in which one base was thrown out, the assumption is that everyone else would remain.
