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


Defence Reform Bill

I think that General Sir Peter Wall is right. I thought that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, when interviewed this morning on

the “Today” programme, put the case eloquently. I do not dispute the fundamental position of my hon. Friend the Member for Basildon and Billericay, but I think that to put the reserve generation on hold would present a serious risk to the whole process and the destabilisation that my hon. Friend the Member for Canterbury (Mr Brazier) mentioned.
