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
I want to end the presumption that those at the centre know better how to micro-manage the services than those who are trained and have spent a lifetime in those services. We need to accept that, while politicians have a particular role in policy, the application of that policy should fall to those with the real expertise, namely the armed forces chiefs themselves.
