Sarah Dyke

Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2026

Debate

Defence Spending and Readiness

Contribution

As chair of the all-party parliamentary group on women in defence, I know that women make up only 11% of the regular forces. We cannot talk about defence readiness while failing to recruit and retain half the population. Does my hon. Friend agree that the defence investment plan must include a concrete plan to reach the women in defence charter’s 30% target by 2030?
