I think the Express quoted savings of £40m if the Arrows were disbanded. We could, however, make some SERIOUS savings by, say, cancelling the Typhoon and buying F-18s off the shelf. Or stopping MEPs from claiming megabucks every time they can't be bothered to turn up at Strasbourg. Or not letting contracts (defence and others) on purely political grounds. Or keeping tighter control of costs of contracts, particularly if MoD is involved. Or designing the gun/aeroplane/boat properly in the first place. Or making Blair and co drive around in Astras rather than Jags. Or - how's this - not going to war when we shouldn't go to war. £40m?? Absolute peanuts in comparison.
