True, and no doubt the Treasury will take advantage.

But proposed cuts should never pass without comment about waste. Much of the defence budget can be considered "fixed" commitments. Equipment procurement is an easily targeted variable, except things like PFI payments. This makes the Billions worth of waste in recent years even more critical, exacerbated by the policy and practice that this waste is never investigated.
