Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

The importance of aircraft carriers, with their carrier-borne air defence for the fleet and carrier-borne strike capacity, is that one is able to operate away from the home nation. If we fought another Falklands war, it would be all too close to Argentina's home bases and thousands of miles from ours.
