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 will give way in a moment. Looking forward, we have taken steps to maintain the armed forces at the forefront of air power with our commitment to the joint strike fighter. Work on the two new aircraft carriers is proceeding well. I challenge the hon. Member for Woodspring to set out his party's position on the carriers so as to provide clarity—he can do so now if he wishes; let us hear what his party's position is on those. Has the shadow Chancellor prevented him from doing so?
