Study Calls for Halt of UK Carrier/JSF Programme

A new report from leading independent think tank, Oxford Research Group (ORG), calls for the cancellation of the aircraft carrier project, the scaling-down of the Trident programme, and the establishment of an independent Defence Procurement Authority. Unless such decisions are taken, the new defence review will be unable to address the real global security challenges facing Britain.

The report, Reviewing Britain’s Security, follows the announcement from new Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox, that the Strategic Defence Review is now under way. The author of the report, Professor Paul Rogers, warns that the Government “may be shooting itself in the foot, unless it reconsiders costly programmes that are already under way, such as the aircraft carriers and Trident replacement. Carrying on with these will hugely constrain the kind of review that Britain really needs.”.........

Hauptpriorität der Britten muss sein ein neues SSBN zu bauen dazu stehen die Konservativen zum Glück alles andere ist mit einem großen Fragezeichen zu versehen.
