HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c625W
Mr. Soames

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will undertake a complete defence review.

Mr. Younger

No. While, in the usual way, decisions on priorities will have to be taken in the coming months in order to match the forward programme to the available cash, I see no need for any fundamental change in our defence commitments or in the main roles undertaken by our armed forces.
