At long last targeting waste in the MOD:

The problem would be where to start, for the money we spend we should have a balanced capable set of services - but we don't. A few things I'd like:
1. Buy best of breed proven solutions and license them for manufacture in the UK. That both gets something useful and solves the defence providing jobs problem.
2. Rein BAe in over cost overruns, the shareholders should share some of the burden.
3. Faster equipment procurement for things we need right now. Clearly where practical, but there is not point having focus groups trying to predict the need for the next 50 years, some things especially troop related can be reacted to rather than planned for.
