Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence Procurement.

Defence Procurement

This is an important debate, and I shall follow the Chairman of the Select Committee by taking up some of the points that he made, perhaps going into a little more detail on one or two of them. Yesterday in Chorley, a huge event—the Falklands remembrance service—took place. The veterans who came along were talking about kit, and what it was like in the Falklands: they lost a great deal of kit, and it did not suit the requirements at the time. We have to learn from what happened in the Falklands.
