Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.
Defence
I hope that the hon. Gentleman would like to hear the list. We have brought into service more than 170 new helicopters, including the hugely impressive Apache attack helicopter; six new giant transport aircraft; 63 multi-role Typhoon aircraft; and 31 new warships. The first of the six new Type 45 destroyers will enter service later this year and will provide a step change in capability.
