Defence Capability

Proceeding contribution from Oliver Letwin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 October 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on Defence Capability.

I agree with much of what the right hon. Gentleman says about past Governments’ actions. In the light of that, does he agree that it would be odd to decide to scrap the Wildcat, of which we have about 60 and which is an exportable helicopter with a high degree of flexibility, in order to keep the Pumas, which are not made in the UK, are not exportable and are old, about to retire and less flexible and capable?
