We do not republish articles from The Independent. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on independent.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Independent reports a Lords Industry and Regulators Committee report urging the Government to speed up defence procurement and change its relationship with industry, and gives the Ministry of Defence's response. The article attributes the committee's warnings to the committee and its chair, and the ministry's reply to a spokesperson.
“peers warn”
The headline keeps the attribution, so the call to go further and faster reads as the committee's warning, not as the outlet's own verdict.
“the Lords Industry and Regulators Committee cautioned”
The report's central claim about industry being unable to move quickly enough is pinned to the named committee, not stated in the outlet's voice.
“A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said”
The article gives the department under criticism its own response, attributed and quoted, so the reader hears both the committee and the ministry.
