Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.
Defence
Yes, my hon. Friend did make that suggestion. I do not know the answer to his question. I do not know why, essentially, senior Air Force officers have dug their heels in, but I hope that the Minister, when he comes to the meeting, will approach it with an open mind, because this is an issue of the greatest importance. It is an issue of fairness for those who have died in the service of their country, and there can be no more important matter for a Minister to deal with than that.
