Proceeding contribution from Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
The Defence Select Committee will wish to give the review very close scrutiny. It seems to take a real gamble with the short term in order to provide security and stability in the longer term, but how will my right hon. Friend answer those who say, as they will, ““If we can get away with no fast jet aircraft carriers for 10 years, why do we need them at all?”” Will he defend the Defence budget against such an attack?
