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


Defence in the World

The right hon. Gentleman will know of the observations the Defence Committee made about the FRES—future rapid effect system—programme. We now have what I call the dogs of war, such as the Jackals and the Bulldogs—the names of various dogs. We have acquired a suite of vehicles to do that work, but we have done it in an ad hoc, disjointed, pragmatic way, rather than through the strategic process we were promised FRES would be.
