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

My hon. Friend needs to look at the White Paper, because the possibility of going down from four boats to three boats was floated at the time. I have to say to him that that would not save money in any near year because, as I am sure that he will appreciate, all the costs of the fourth boat come pretty late in the programme.
