Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 October 2026

Debate

National Resilience

Contribution

This Government have ended the underfunding and hollowing out of our armed forces that we inherited from the last Government. We are getting ready for warfighting readiness by 2030. That is why we are directing more of a growing defence budget at British companies, retiring old equipment, and giving our brilliant men and women in the armed forces the latest kit. Defence spending is up, morale is up and recruitment is up.
