Defence

Debate between Rosie Winterton and John Healey

Tuesday 7th May 2024 Commons Chamber

[John Healey]

I am finishing off now; the hon. Gentleman will have his chance to speak.

Labour’s plan will renew the nation’s contract with those who have served through an independent forces commissioner. It will make allies our strategic strength, with new French, German and EU defence agreements, and renewed UK leadership within the AUKUS alliance. It will direct British defence investment first to British jobs with deep procurement reform. Labour is the real party of defence. With Labour, Britain will be better defended.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

I call the Chair of the Defence Committee.
