Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Reform.


Defence Reform

The hon. Gentleman always fails to point out that across the piece far more people in the defence industry are based in Scotland and a disproportionate amount of defence industry spending goes to Scotland. Scotland might have fewer positions in terms of military rank, but these are Crown forces and their footprint is spread evenly, one way or another, across the United Kingdom.
