Title: Blair's pledge on Red Arrows cash
Post by: casper on April 11, 2007, 12:51:17 PM
Prime Minister Tony Blair has declared the future of the Red Arrows is safe - after weeks of speculation the aerobatics team could be disbanded.

But in a written response to an online petition, Mr Blair said there were no plans to slash spending on the team.
