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
I am relieved to hear what my hon. Friend the Member for North Devon (Nick Harvey) said, because I have not spoken to him since his visit. That shows the Conservatives' position on the matter—they are not committed to the aircraft carriers. Revealingly, however, the Defence Secretary also refused to answer the relevant question, and I was a bit puzzled by that, so I hope that he will take this opportunity to contribute.
