Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 November 2024

Debate

Armed Forces Recruitment and Retention

Contribution

I had such high hopes for the right hon. Gentleman as my shadow. Let me be very clear: the Government are renewing the contract between the nation and those who serve—a contract that had been eroded over 14 years, with black mould in military accommodation, falling morale and gaps in our capabilities. We will not only support retention and recruitment, but through the work that the Defence Secretary does in Cabinet and the work of the Minister for Veterans and People, we will support our veterans as well.
