Really? You imagine that some spending on infra, etc, had anything to do with a particular government or any decisions it took?
As that government's cuts and those of the more recent one have bitten, infra spending has almost stopped. Don't confuse that with government decisions.
Its just something I noticed in the years 1997 to 2010. A lot of the bases I worked or transited through really did improve a lot under Labour. Co-incidence? Maybe Labour are closer to the troops welfare, where as the Conservatives like to think they represent only the Officers? Or want to associate more with the Officers?
Certainly the emphasis in the upgrade in accommodation at Culdrose was aimed at JR level first (in this time period). The young officers got a really bum deal out of it (last to get upgraded). *Didn't Dennis Healey visit Culdrose when SoSfD and describe it as a slum, in the 1960's? And triggered the first rebuild (botched totally by Laings?).
