Proceeding contribution from Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.
Defence
We have made considerable progress with the Eurofighter contract, but we are referring to tranche 3, as the hon. Gentleman knows full well, because I am sure that he has studied these matters. The MOD spent £259 million buying eight Chinook Mk 3 helicopters for the Special Air Service, but the cost to the MOD is now £500 million and those helicopters are still not in the air.
