Defence Spending (Wales)

Proceeding contribution from Lord Robathan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 December 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Spending (Wales).
I am afraid that I do not have the time, but I will write to the hon. Gentleman. In conclusion, the previous Government let down the United Kingdom. They let down United Kingdom defence and they let down Wales. I was told today that Labour was standing up for defence. It has not been standing up for defence in Wales but for narrow partisan interests. Frankly, it is a scandal. We will not make defence decisions based on regional party political advantage, or on the advantage of the Principality; we will make a clear-headed assessment on what is best for our armed forces, the United Kingdom—including the Principality—and its defence.
