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 specific work on that is currently being done by Bernard Gray but, as I said in the statement, it is now important that we increase the length of tenure of many such posts, otherwise we are wasting talent. If the MOD were a private company, it would be number three in the FTSE. The idea of having the most senior people in the private sector stay for 18 months or two years, and then rotating them round because it is ““good for their career experience”” would not hold water in the private sector, and it no longer holds water in the MOD.
