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)
No. Our position was set out in the White Paper of two years ago, and it has not changed. We should not—I say this to the hon. Gentleman with the greatest respect—look at the UK's deterrence policy off the back of short-term financial issues. This is a strategic decision to be taken by the nation, and it should be considered and taken in that light.
