Labour — Slough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2025

Debate

Defence Spending: 2.5% of GDP

Contribution

On defence spending, I am glad that UK-based defence firms will be prioritised for Government investment under the defence industrial strategy, which should boost British jobs in constituencies such as Slough and help to strengthen national security, but major defence programmes are currently in disarray, with only two out of 49 on time and on budget. What actions are the Government taking to fix the waste and mismanagement in the system?
