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


Defence: Reform

The Minister will be aware that there are 19 grace and favour residences and that lavish expenses are provided to senior officers in all three services, which sits ill in the budget when people in the front line are being asked to make cutbacks. Has the noble Lord, Lord Levene, made any recommendations in relation to this and, if so, what is the Government’s response?
