Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) 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
We carried out a strategic defence review in 1998; we updated it through the new chapter and the White Paper. I became Secretary of State in the late summer of 2009. We committed ourselves to a strategic defence review in exactly the same way as the Conservative party did. We would have been carrying out a strategic defence review in exactly the same way as the Government are. We would be confronting the same difficulties. We would try to be as open and inclusive as we possibly could. I genuinely believe that defence is more than a simple party interest and that it ought to expand beyond that.
