Speeches by Reed.

“Lots has been mentioned already around what could be done in terms of a future Sudan strategy, but is there anything else that anyone wants to bring in?”

“It is encouraging to see cross-party support for the Bill, and it is a real pleasure to be in the Chamber this evening with all four former Royal Marines who have come into Parliament in 2024. I welcome the Bill. We all share the same goal of improving the welfare and support of those who serve in our armed forces and …”

“T8. Could I ask for a progress update on the recruitment for a national armaments director, the creation of a military strategic headquarters, and the release of the defence industrial strategy, and crucially, will they all be in place and established in time to contribute to the recommendations of the strategic defenc…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for raising that concern. That issue definitely needs to be drawn out during the later stages of the Bill to ensure that everyone across the armed forces community—regulars, reservists and veterans—is listened to by the commissioner. I think everyone in the House agrees that the Armed Forces Comm…”

“Thank you for coming and speaking to us, and for having the strength to share your experiences. I know how difficult that must be. Going back to the point around targeting, was there a threat that the Israeli Defence Force was seeing? Was Hamas in the community? Could you see where it was?”

“I completely agree with the Defence Secretary that defence spending must increase to meet the threats we face. Given that the threats are visible and increasing, I found myself nodding in agreement with Admiral Lord West’s recent Guardian article, in which he said we should be bold and move directly to spending 3% of G…”

“Since I was elected in July, Exmouth and Exeter East has been hit by significant sewage issues. I am sure the Secretary of State will understand that and I have written to him recently outlining some of those issues. Although the commission may bear fruit in future years, there are areas of the country, such as my cons…”

“11. What plans he has for future levels of spending on defence research and development.”

“Frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence are already shaping every domain across the modern battlefield. To stay ahead of our adversaries and keep our service personnel and allies safe, it is imperative that we have the domestic ability to develop these technologies.

“I congratulate all hon. Members who have delivered their maiden speech. They have all spoken about their constituency with wit, passion and enthusiasm, and I have no doubt that they will be strong representatives for their constituents. It is a real privilege to deliver my maiden speech during the Sir David Amess gener…”

“Supercomputing and artificial intelligence are key drivers for making us more cyber-resilient. Will the Secretary of State please clarify why £1.3 billion has been cut from that budget?”
