Proceeding contribution from Doug Henderson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.
Defence
The hon. Gentleman and I have talked about these issues outside the House for many years, and we did so a few weeks ago. As he knows, the audience, comprising industrialists in the defence industry from Britain and Europe, made it clear that they did not believe that the Conservatives would increase defence expenditure. The audience asked the very question that has been asked in the House today of the Conservatives. If they do not like these cuts and would reinstate them, what other cuts would they make?
