Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 March 2025

Debate

Spring Statement

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman has long been an advocate of spending properly on defence. We have set out a fully funded and costed plan to get to 2.5% of GDP in the next two years and to 3% in the next Parliament. The world has changed. We can see that all around us. This Government will always put our national security and defence first, and as the situation evolves, of course so will we.
