Leaked Report Criticizes UK Defense Programs

Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

August 23, 2009

According to an August 24 report from The Guardian, the UK government was urged to publish an official 296-page report by Bernard Gray, a former senior Ministry of Defence adviser, warning of “lethal" weakness in government programs. The report complained that it takes 20 years to buy a ship, or aircraft, or tank and seems to cost at least twice what was thought.
