Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) 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 think that the hon. Gentleman is on to something, and I know that a number of people are examining his report. Why does he think that we as a political class have shrunk to pragmatic reactions, rather than daring ones? Does he think politicians would be rewarded or punished if they dared to be strategic?
