Labour — Liverpool Garston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 June 2025

Debate

Nuclear-certified Aircraft Procurement

Contribution

My hon. Friend is correct. In addition to the industrial benefits that we ought to glean from increasing the F-35 order, it is absolutely right that it strengthens NATO. That is what the strategic defence review said that we should focus on, and NATO first is what we are doing. Rejoining the NATO nuclear mission is a striking commitment. We accepted the recommendation to make that commitment and we are now implementing it.
