Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

That, of course, is the role of our hon. Friend the Minister, who will make his speech in due course. However, we need to recognise the need for speed. In discussions yesterday with the Defence Committee, some senior academics and senior retired military people suggested that delaying things would not necessarily produce better decisions.
