Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

I rise to seek clarification on that point, because my understanding is that the Conservatives intend, on their first day in government, to examine the break clauses in a variety of contracts, including those for the aircraft carriers, possibly with a view to cancelling them to save money. That is hardly an indication that more money will be available for the defence budget, is it?
