Calum Miller

Liberal Democrat — Bicester and Woodstock

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2026

Debate

Defence Readiness

Contribution

The Minister makes a strong case for hard power, and we on the Liberal Democrat Benches support the investment in British defence. However, he also knows that generals on both sides of the Atlantic have made the case that investment in development is necessary to prevent conflict. In fact, they say that prevention is better than military intervention. Will the Minister take this opportunity to assure the House that there will be no further cuts to the international development budget in the forthcoming period?
