Proceeding contribution from Luke Pollard (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 January 2025. It occurred during Urgent question on Fiscal Policy: Defence Spending.
Fiscal Policy: Defence Spending
The strategic defence review will set out clearly what threats the nation is facing and what capabilities we need. I would expect to see renewal of our capabilities, because we have seen from the war in Ukraine that warfare has changed. Some of the assumptions about how we structure our armed forces and how we fight have been challenged by the experience of warfare in Ukraine, and that is one of the reasons why this SDR is so important. It will set out the evolving capabilities that we need and how we will deliver them to keep our nation safe.
