Defence Spending

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

Does my hon. Friend agree that two of the most chilling interventions in recent weeks have been, first, from the chief of staff

of the American army, who said that he thought that a diminished UK defence capability would serve not alongside, but as part of, an American division; and secondly, from the Europeans, who indicated that the best deterrent against Mr Putin was a European army? Are not both those interventions extremely telling?
