Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Acquisition (Independent Review).
Defence Acquisition (Independent Review)
The Secretary of State has seen this outstanding report, but it addresses merely equipment. Given the number of wounded coming back from Afghanistan, and the appalling nonsense in the training mechanisms to get the troops through the system, when is he going to produce a similar report on the awful state of recruiting, particularly to the combat arms?
