Thomas Docherty (Dunfermline and West Fife) (Lab)
I hope that the Leader of the House, his deputy and most importantly his courteous and professional staff have a good rest.
Further to the question asked by my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley Central (Dan Jarvis), given the huge national interest in the basing announcement that is due very shortly, can the Leader of the House confirm that the Secretary of State for Defence will come to the House on Monday and make that announcement rather than slipping it out either on Tuesday or in written form?
Sir George Young
I commend the hon. Gentleman for his tenacity on this subject. My right hon. Friend certainly plans to update the House on the basing review before we rise for the summer recess.
