Olivia Bailey

Labour — Reading West and Mid Berkshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 July 2025

Debate

Defence Spending

Contribution

This Government’s commitment to spending 5% of GDP on national security will be transformational for Wales and for my constituency, where thousands are employed in the defence sector and where we welcomed a £15 billion boost for the Atomic Weapons Establishment. Do the Secretary of State and the Minister agree that both our national security and our local economies are better off with Labour?
