Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces: Redundancy.


Armed Forces: Redundancy

We did. The noble Lord asked how many people were affected. I cannot give him a figure at the Dispatch Box but I will write to him and deposit a copy of the letter in the Library. The noble and gallant Lord, Lord Craig of Radley, asked about the Royal Air Force. There will be cuts to two Tornado squadrons. This week’s announcement to remove two squadrons of Tornados implements a decision taken by the previous Government during planning round 10.
