. Philip Hammond talks about defense noon . Summary
2:14 p.m.Philip Hammond
, defense secretary, was in One World. There were two lines that goes well beyond what he said in his speech. I took the quotes from PoliticsHome.
Hammond said there could be more layoffs beyond the military already announced.
After the operation in Afghanistan is over, may be necessary for new rounds of layoffs to reach the size of the army that we have proposed. Now we have a commitment to an army that will be about 82,000 regular and reserve about 30,000 trained its overall structure. Now it's the end of the decade, and of course if need more layoffs will depend on the rate of recruitment and retention.
. He defended the decision to incude the armed forces on top of a salary increase of 1% announced by George Osborne. As reported by the Sun, David Cameron, has been criticized for this in PMQs yesterday. That's how Hammond defended the decision.
think you should look at the salary package in the round. First, the 1% that the Chancellor has announced a policy measure in the public sector is at the top of the deposit is already included in the contractual arrangements of the population and the increase in military pay is an important part of the structure.
[inflation] is more this time, but remember we are talking about two years after the wage freeze in place, when all forecasts indicate that the inflation will be much lower. Thus, it will be 1% at the top of the progress. No impact on performance, including performance attribution, that is out of cash in the amount of £ 5000 more than doubled when it came to power, people returning from a tour operation. We have doubled the tax relief advice, and the Chancellor also announced that military pay is not included in the review of regional wages is ordered.

We need the countries in the area that if they come together to make changes, to solve their problems, and get to the institutions of the euro area behind this currency, so that their economies moving again and it will be good for us. "There are more details in our blog in the euro zone debt crisis, which covers the top in detail.

disorderly sovereign defaults and outs of the euro area by the five peripheral states not only drag down the European banking system, but also the North Atlantic and the international financial system exposed parts of the rest of global banking system. The resulting financial crisis would lead to a global depression that could last years, GDP is probably a reduction of more than 10 percent and unemployment in the west to reach 20 percent or more.

In his speech, he admitted that he had a reputation "as a man of numbers." But he also said he wanted to protect the ability of the central Ministry of Defence.
These are the key points.
I am determined that we can not compromise current operations or limit the future ability of the defense - which means it will not remove the essential skills and abilities that are beyond repair - so that we can retain the possibility of extending the future if the requirements of the threat and resources permit. My first rule is that all our current limits should not prevent our successors to do more.

The Prime Minister is a very dangerous revolt on their hands. Yesterday, the flames of rebellion crossed the line in the back in the closet - a very important moment.

However, the Conservatives won the dividends generated: the sector is now the largest contributor to the fund of the party ....
the generosity of the industry is also likely to priorities through the party, some say.
