Labour (Co-op) — Plymouth Sutton and Devonport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

United Kingdom Military Installations

Contribution

I thank the hon. Gentleman, because I think there was some praise in the question somewhere. The steps we have set out on wildfires are an important contribution to the wider resilience effort. I am pleased that the Scottish Government are finally engaging with defence in a way that they have not done previously. Their match funding for the defence technical excellence colleges is an important step in that, but I say to him politely that I do not want to see politicians of any party doing Putin’s dirty work for him by dividing us when we should be standing together.
