Proceeding contribution from Richard Foord (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 May 2024. It occurred during Debate on Defence.


Defence

I am grateful to the Secretary of State for giving way, and I can offer him the assurance that the Liberal Democrats embrace the continuous at-sea deterrent with four submarines. What is more, the strategic environment in which we were operating in 2010 was very different from that which we see today: the Liberal Democrats made the right call then, and we have made the right call now.
