It is extraordinary that, at a time of unprecedented military activity, the Minister comes to the Dispatch Box to accept that under this Government, essential expenditure on R and D has halved. In addition, he will know that the head of the European Defence Agency has called for 20 per cent. of the EU nations’ defence research spending to be spent collectively. How much of the UK’s already reduced research budget does the MOD intend to spend in this way? Who will own the resulting intellectual property? Will this move not endanger our relationship with the United States? Will it not serve, moreover, to undermine a key principle of the defence industrial strategy to which the Secretary of State put his name—that we need to maintain certain key capabilities in the United Kingdom—or is the real truth that this is just further evidence that defence policy is now seen by the federalists as the best vehicle for securing the united states of Europe?
