Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.


Defence

I have made the Government's position on the carriers very clear, but what the hon. Gentleman outlines is not consistent with what the shadow Secretary of State said to the trade unions last week: that on day one of a Conservative Government, they would start examining the break clauses, item by item. That is a very different position.
