Last month the Defence Committee published its report ‘Ready for War?’ highlighting concerns about our preparedness for the worse-case scenario of a peer-on-peer conflict.
I am pleased we have secured a debate, through which we will bring to the House’s attention both our report and the Public Accounts Committee’s on the MoD’s Equipment Plan and hear the Minister's response.
There are always many important issues to debate but none is more important than ensuring we are doing all it takes to deter aggression and defend ourselves and our allies.
It is critical that we get investment in defence right. The debate will commence from the end of Business Questions from around 11.30/12noon and will be live streamed on Parliament TV: https://parliamentlive.tv/Commons
