That Hansard quote is 8 years old from a different Govt that was prepared to live without long range aviation ASW/ASUW from 2009 (when the option to axe MR2 was made).
Plus if you re-read the Dr Fox quote, he acknowledges the current risk and mitigates it with RN 'dippers', Type 23, C130 and I guess what he means is E3D doing long range 'surpic'.
