Armed Forces
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the level of the UK’s readiness for war.
Answered by Luke Pollard
As set out in the 2025 Strategic Defence Review, we are increasing national warfighting readiness to deter threats to UK and our interests. This includes transforming the Armed Forces to ensure they are more lethal, reversing the 14 years of hollowing out and underfunding this government found when it came into office.
