Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Reform.


Defence: Reform

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for repeating the Statement. Can I focus on the responsibilities that a single service Chief of Staff will have for the funds allocated to him? The Statement talks about his ability to ““veer and haul”” within that funding. Will all that veering and hauling have to be put to the Treasury bit by bit, or will the Chief of Staff have freedom of manoeuvre, without which he will have no advantage whatever?
