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

The Chinook is far, far from a vulnerable aircraft. Those two will be replaced, and the replacements for the two that were damaged in theatre will be paid for by the reserve in line with the principles that underpin what should be paid for by the Treasury reserve and what should come from the core defence budget.
