Victoria Collins

Liberal Democrat — Harpenden and Berkhamsted

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 June 2026

Debate

Defence Bonds

Contribution

My constituent Fraser puts it best when he says, “At a time when the world is increasingly dark and uncertain, and when the UK’s defence capability is well below the level required”, defence bonds “are surely one which would gain support across the political spectrum. I know that I would happily invest.” With all of us in the United Kingdom paying the price every time we check out or pay a bill, the Liberal Democrat calls to issue £20 billion of defence bonds would mean an injection of funding in our security, but also in our economy, so what are the Government waiting for?
