Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 March 2025

Debate

Spring Statement

Contribution

I congratulate the Government on grasping the nettle of the security challenge caused by Putin to the integrity of both Ukraine and the UK, and on repairing the damage that the party opposite did to our Armed Forces and growing it now for new challenges. Does my noble friend the Minister agree that our own national security and economic stability are absolutely linked? Does he also agree that we need a strong, resilient economy independent of global uncertainty and that the welcome increase in defence expenditure will boost jobs and growth across the whole of the UK?
