Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 November 2024. It occurred during Urgent question on Defence: 2.5% GDP Spending Commitment.
Defence: 2.5% GDP Spending Commitment
The hon. Gentleman has been consistent in his arguments, and I welcome his contribution. The Treasury will have noted it, and will probably take it as an early representation for the next Budget. In the meantime, I will ensure that the strategic defence review starts with the threats that we face: war in Europe, conflict in the middle east and growing threats globally, as well as Russian aggression more widely beyond Ukraine. We will ensure that we are able to match the capabilities that we develop with the threats that we face, and we will do so within the resources that we have available.
