Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.

The defence budget grew by 10 per cent. in real terms additional to the £14 billion from the reserve. He knows those facts to be true, yet he tries to suggest they are not.
