The Government's morbid fear of the concept of a defence review is the cause of the continuing Crisis in the Defence Budget.

As my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate and other hon. Friends said, there is already a serious Crisis in the Defence Budget without the major changes that the Secretary of State seeks.

There is no Crisis in the Defence Budget.

Despite all the Secretary of State's extravagant claims to be increasing it, there is in reality a deep Crisis in the Defence Budget.
