Proceeding contribution from Mike Freer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

Does my hon. Friend accept that allocating funds simply on geography, particularly defence spending, is a misdirection? Defence spending must be based on the strategic needs of the armed forces, not on a geographic spread. Does he agree that that line of argument is completely false in the context of defence spending?
