Proceeding contribution from Alison Seabeck (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Future Defence Programme.


Future Defence Programme

I listened to my right hon. Friend's statement with interest, and I require reassurance on two quick points. First, will he reassure me that the cut to the minesweeper and survey vessel will not impact on Plymouth and the work carried out there? Secondly, when looking at the defence estate, will he, as I assume that he will, do everything he can to speed up the sale of significant parcels of land that have been hanging around for some time and need to be moved on?
