The Liberal Party welcomes the announcement by the government of its intention to increase UK defence spending to 5% to GDP by 2025.
The party full acknowledges that we need to work with other European countries to increase logistics and reduce dependence on the USA regardless of any debate over the EU.
We also need to increase our front-line capacity to reduce the need to go to the nuclear option prematurely. This includes conventional weapons, drones, and surveillance and cyber warfare technology.
The government must also not forget that the welfare of service personnel and their family’s need to be addressed with better quality accommodation to encourage the retention of skilled professionals.
