Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Acquisition (Independent Review).


Defence Acquisition (Independent Review)

My right hon. Friend says a great deal that is true, but that is not to say that we cannot do better. There is the issue of always trying to get the best, and the issue of responding to changing military requirements. Those must be balanced with time scale and getting what is good enough into being as quickly, as effectively and as cost effectively as possible.
