Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 November 2024

Debate

Budget: Taxes and Borrowing

Contribution

This Budget provided only a limited increase in defence spending, under circumstances in which the Ukraine war is depleting British stocks and our Armed Forces are under very considerable strain. If the Government were to consider that they needed to increase defence spending further, and to raise tax for that, would they be confident that the Conservative Party would support that, or do they think they would oppose it?
