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

I simply do not recognise the right hon. Gentleman’s description of any decisions that we have taken, and it would run contrary to what he and I agree is the value of combined cadet forces. Most of us, in our constituencies, have contact and working relations with good cadet forces that give young people opportunities that they simply would not have at school or in any other walk of life. They have an important part to play in the future of individuals, and also in the wider understanding of our armed forces.
