From the above:

Asked how a Tory government would make savings, [Liam Fox] said: "It's also
big structures like the fact the MoD owns the Met Office, with all the
costs, salaries, pensions."

Questioned about privatising the Met Office, Mr Fox said: "There's a very
strong case to look at the assets of the MoD and say do these deliver
anything for the front line?"


And now, on a totally separate matter, the new Tory recruit, General Sir
Richard Dannatt, said that the Conservative leader's team "lacked expert
understanding" of defence.
