Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (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, I am sorry that the noble Lord was not here when I read out the Statement. Having said that, I am aware of the part that he played in securing greater co-operation with the French. The noble Lord said that we would have carriers with no aircraft flying off them. The idea is that the aircraft and carrier will come in at the same time. We will put the cats and traps on the carrier when the JSF comes in, in 2019 or 2020.
