Labour — Halesowen

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 May 2025

Debate

UK-EU Summit

Contribution

Given that the last Government reduced our Army to a size not seen since the Napoleonic era, we should take no lectures on defence from Opposition Members. The people who will benefit from this are the defence contractors in my constituency who have been struggling to sell their components to the EU since Brexit and have had to cancel contracts, which has been affecting jobs all over the west midlands.
