Proceeding contribution from Lord Selkirk of Douglas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Treaties with France.


Defence: Treaties with France

My Lords, can the Minister say a little more about the implications of strategic co-operation with France on maritime reconnaissance? Can he confirm that there will be a sufficiency of European sea and air resources to combat piracy off Somalia, and that, in particular, when the Nimrods come off the supply line, they will for the time being be mothballed, not dismantled?
