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)

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there are legitimate concerns that the strategic defence review might end up listening to those who have learned their lessons from the conflicts of only the past 10 years, which might result in us drawing up a military system based on the needs of those past 10 years, rather than on what could be needed in the next 20 or 30 years? Fast jets, aircraft carriers and other big bits of kit that have not been needed much in the past 10 years may well be needed in the uncertain future that we face.
