Clearly CVF will be a humanitarian platform, capable of acting as an Ark (Noah's rather than Royal) where required in support of the civil power. Surely this demonstrates the governments commitment to combining departmental spend to the best use of the community by making the MoD repsonsible for flood relief as well, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the appropriate agencies and blah, blah blah blah......Des Browne SoS Defence, Scotland and Distaster Relief anyone?
