Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.


Defence

Any strategic defence review has to be fully funded. Therefore, any SDR that a future Government would decide on would be fully funded; it would be irresponsible not to do that. Can the Secretary of State tell us whether, on the Government record, it is true that the Government cut the helicopter budget by £1.4 billion in 2004, in the middle of two wars?
