TA too important for political football – Harvey

Commenting on Gordon Brown’s U-turn over funding for the Territorial Army, Liberal Democrat Shadow Defence Secretary, Nick Harvey, said:

“The state of the TA is much too important to be used as a political football in this way.

“It was a shocking error of judgement for the Government to have contemplated this cut in the first place.

“It is a sad fact that Gordon Brown’s moral compass has only managed to kick in in the face of opposition across the board.”
