The Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Philip Hammond, was on the Radio last night and stated that:
a. There would have to be cut backs in all public sector spending
b. The UK military in Afghanistan should get the additional equipment they needed to carry out the war
c. a & b mean that there would be other sectors of the defence budget that would have to be cut to pay for the Afghanistan campaign and the "defence share" of the overall public sector pain & grief.
OK, so what non Afghanistan related areas of the Defence Budget do we think will be cut?
