Defence Spending (Wales)

Proceeding contribution from Sian C James (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 December 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Spending (Wales).
Well, the hon. Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire (Simon Hart) is entitled to his opinion, just as I am entitled to mine. It is fair that a community with a proud military history should continue its lasting legacy, and it is fair for Wales to get military investment to match its contribution to our armed forces. The Secretary of State for Wales repeatedly states:"““We have secured a fair settlement for Wales.””—[Official Report, 3 November 2010; Vol. 514, c. 904.]" and the Defence Secretary insists that the best decisions will be made for the defence of the UK. Neither has yet delivered on those promises, although that could change today.
