Armed Forces get £30bn for new equipment in defence budget (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/engineering/article2080285.ece)
The Times - 16 Jul 07 (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/engineering/article2080285.ece)
It looks like the spending review will be concluded this week and newspaper reports suggest that we will get the new carriers, ships and armoured vehicles that we've been asking for. It will be interesting to see if any new money will be pledged. Ever the cynic, I think I've worked out how they'll afford it; did anyone else spot the clue?
Defence chiefs expect to conclude their department’s comprehensive spending review this week, Armed Forces’ pay the only outstanding issue to be resolved.
