Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 July 2025

Debate

National Security

Contribution

The BBC covered the Government’s publication of the national security strategy last month with the headline “UK must prepare for war scenario”. Often, the public will read an alarming headline like that without reading about the context, or about what it might mean for them or what they should do about it. Will the Government draw on academic expertise, such as that at the Centre for the Public Understanding of Defence and Security at the University of Exeter, in engaging with our constituents on this subject?
