Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Future Defence Programme.
Future Defence Programme
I know why my hon. Friend asks that question. A statement was made in his Committee this morning. That was an erroneous statement. There is not a problem of a gap. There is an issue of training that we need to look at and of which we are fully aware. We are examining it and mitigating it. There is no gap in the programme between the existing carriers and the future carriers.
