Proceeding contribution from Daniel Byles (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
I join others in thanking the right hon. Gentleman for the work he did as Secretary of State. We all know that he inherited a very difficult situation and he did the best he could in the circumstances. He is also my constituency neighbour of course, and we work together on other issues. The right hon. Gentleman has alluded several times to the fact that the review was a spending review rather than a strategic defence review. Does he honestly believe that if Labour had won the last election, defence would have had a better financial settlement than has been achieved under this Government?
