Lord Harper (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2026

Debate

Defence, Security and Resilience Bank

Contribution

My Lords, on a note of agreement, I agree with the Minister—I think—on his position on the defence bank, which may surprise him. He set out the importance of defence procurement. Given that there was much speculative briefing over the past few days about the Government’s defence spending commitments, is he able to update the House on the much-delayed defence investment plan, which is very important in making those commitments, particularly to the British defence industry?
