Proceeding contribution from Lord Soames of Fletching (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

I warmly welcome what the Secretary of State has said about defence diplomacy. Does he agree that, inevitably in an age of restraint, defence diplomacy is an extremely important and effective asset for this Government and something that this country has historically done well? Does he also agree that to pare back our work in defence diplomacy at this time would be to cut off our nose to spite our face?
