Asked by: Toby Perkins (Labour - Chesterfield)
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding for the armed forces; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Gavin Williamson
The Modernising Defence Programme is being undertaken to ensure that our Armed Forces have the right processes and capabilities in place to address the evolving threats that we face.
As the hon. Member will be aware, I have had regular discussions with the Chancellor since arriving at the Ministry of Defence and will continue to do so as the Modernising Defence Programme progresses.
