Another Brownie at PMQ’s – Now Brown Foxed
According to Dizzy the Tories have ust put a press release out that contains the following quote from Liam Fox
“At Prime Minister’s Questions today Gordon Brown repeatedly made the allegation that the Conservatives pledged to cut defence spending at the 2005 election, when our manifesto was committed to a £2.7bn increase in frontline spending. Gordon Brown must apologise for misleading the House. Another day, another figure, same wrong Gordon Brown.”
According to Dizzy
Just did a quick Google search to check and page 25 of the Tory 2005 manifesto seems clear as it says,
A Conservative Government will strengthen our Armed Forces within NATO by spending £2.7 billion more than Labour on the front line by 2007-08.
