Proceeding contribution from Lord Judd (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 12 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
Before the Minister leaves that point, I really am mystified. He is proposing immense expenditure in future on two very sophisticated ships, which must impress us all, particularly those of us who have had responsibility in that sphere. He tells us that in the interregnum it is all right because we can meet all eventualities and cover all our needs. I do not see the logic. What may happen in these next 10 years, in the interregnum? What is it that will fill the gap? If we have something that makes it perfectly all right, how can we contemplate this expenditure in future?
