Proceeding contribution from Lord Coaker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Defence Reform Bill.


Defence Reform Bill

I have given the hon. Gentleman the answer to his question, which he asked again. If he does not like or accept the answer, that is fine, but I will not keep repeating it. He was the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the previous Secretary of State for Defence when he made the commitment about uplift and about the relevant number of Reserves having to be reached before the number of Regulars was reduced. I wonder what comment he made to the then Secretary of State about that at the time.
