Sir Julian Lewis

Conservative — New Forest East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

Contribution

Would it be fair to say that the step that has been taken to use development money for the immediate or relatively prompt increase in defence spending is essentially a short-term measure that will have to be substituted with long-term measures, given that the increase in defence spending, if it is to fund a security contribution to a divided Ukraine, will be an indefinite commitment?
