Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Reform.
Defence Reform
I appreciate the advance copy of the Defence Secretary's statement, in which he said that the senior ranks are ““top heavy””. That is not true in Scotland, however, where only 2.1% of the most senior ranks are stationed. Under this report and the plans that will follow it, will there be even fewer decision makers in Scotland, or will the number remain at the same derisory level?
