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


Defence Reform Bill

The Secretary of State shakes his head, but the £180 million that was allocated to the Reserves in the first year was spent on upgrading the Regulars. The generals told the Defence Committee that that was what they did. The threat of a pause if they do not get things sorted might compel the generals to make greater progress.
