10 000 job cuts..
Financial Times: MoD makes cuts to plug budget hole
The Ministry of Defence laid bare the human and military cost of living beyond its means on Tuesday as ministers unveiled 10,000 job cuts, an air force base closure and a big reduction in the fighter jet fleet.
Bob Ainsworth, defence secretary, said the “hard decisions” would fill part of the hole in the defence budget ahead of the strategic defence review next year and provide room for £900m of additional spending on kit for Afghanistan.
