The Labour lady spoke of NATO as if it were a place. The Lib Dem admitted she was a sub, as the proper guy couldn’t get there because it was too far and too difficult to travel. I’m not sure either mentioned anything of substance.

That meant three of the four hadn’t a scoobie, leaving Ben Wallace. He started off well, but then resorted to the propaganda that the likes of MRA4 (which was the subject of the question) was cancelled because of the deficit. And his memory of PFI origins left something to be desired. But otherwise he spoke very well of some detailed matters, which one would expect. I did like his rant about Tracer/FRES/Boxer. He doesn’t look old enough to remember Tracer, which was always a case study in how not to do it during MoD training in the 90s. But, overall, he wiped the floor with the others. What, a Minister knows his subject? Can’t have that.
