I agree with TL Thou, a pretty well packed government vote. I found "Lord" Glenarthur's comments particularly tedious, self-serving and arrogant. Comments from previous CDS types were disappointing but probably to be expected.
What did depress me- can't remember who said it- was a comment that accidents had to be avoided and therefore {by implication} that there was an element of "pour encourager les autres"
I believe it was Talleyrand who said of the Bourbons that "they learned nothing and they forgot nothing".Seems to apply to MoD.
Sad day, looking forward to the next stage in due course.
