Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Defence Reform Bill.
Defence Reform Bill
My hon. Friend will just have to accept that we are suggesting a brief pause. Why should Parliament not be able to ask for a brief pause in a process that is clearly not going to plan, with recruitment targets being missed, an ever-widening capability gap and rising costs? If we all accept that defence is the first duty of Government, which I know we do, it is incumbent on Parliament to ask these questions.
