Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green(@MPIainDS):The MoD outsourcing British military uniform production to China is “tantamount to having our uniforms made by Nazi Germany in the 1930s”. We are giving Beijing control over the nature of our uniforms as well as the robustness of them. https://t.co/AhtoNwTPFC China poses the greatest threat to Britain since the Second World War. Why would you give a country like that control of your essential military supplies, and let them track where these uniforms get shipped? It is astonishingly stupid, unbelievably short-sighted, and it’s artificially cheap.
