Clwyd South MP Susan Elan Jones (pictured) has called on the Government to take urgent
steps to tackle the RAF's pilot shortage.
Speaking in the House of Commons Chamber she questioned Defence Ministers on a National Audit Office Report
citing RAF concerns that it would be 20 years on current rates until the
force has enough pilots.
After her exchange, Ms Jones said: "Everyone
agrees the current system needs to be reviewed, but I don't think the
Government is taking the sort of urgent steps we need.
"I've spoken about
defence cuts and shortages in our armed personnel before and I will
do so again. We cannot be running down our armed forces at this time of
global change and insecurity, and we must take on board the very real
concerns of the RAF and our other armed
services."
