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

We will seek to do that, and that is in marked contrast to some of the comments made by the hon. Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) about massive cuts in civilian headcount in the MOD which could, if not properly structured, lead to uniformed staff doing civilian jobs at increased cost, not at a saving. We will look at this, plan properly and consult our staff.
