Defence Spending

Proceeding contribution from Jack Lopresti (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2015. It occurred during Backbench debate on Defence Spending.

While I disagree with my hon. Friend about misguided previous military engagements—I do not think that either was misguided—we did see what happens when we try to deploy troops abroad on the cheap without their being properly equipped. We lost a lot of good people because of that, and there were a lot of injuries. We should never put our people in that position again.
