Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) 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

This is financial, not strategic. The defence academy in south Wales has been cancelled, the Royal Navy will be without carriers for the first time since world war two—[Interruption.] There will be an eight-year gap. Does this herald the end of ““Britannia rules the waves”” and the start of ““Cameron waves the rules””?
