Proceeding contribution from David S Borrow (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Industry (Lancashire).
Defence Industry (Lancashire)
I shall move on. It has been interesting to watch the debate about procurement and other such matters over the last few months. The Government have signed contracts for the carriers and work is going ahead with them. The shadow Defence Minister made it clear to conveners from the defence industry that the break clause would be considered on day one, which questions the Tory commitment to the carriers. If the Conservatives have no commitment to the carriers, it is difficult to see how they can be committed to the F-35.
