Dr Andrew Murrison

Conservative — South West Wiltshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Contribution

Apropos the point that has already been rightly made, does the hon. Gentleman really believe that? The Red Book gives a very different story. What we are talking about is RDEL—the resource departmental expenditure limit or day-to-day spend on our armed forces. That means reserves—I am one—not getting their reserve training days, ships that cannot put to sea because of a lack of fuel, no bullets and no exercises. Is that what he wants? What does that say to the brave men and women who populate our armed forces?
