Defence Committee: One-off Session on Ukraine
Committee hears from witnesses
A private meeting of the House of Commons Defence Committee scheduled for June 2026. The Defence Committee is Parliament's primary oversight body for military and defence policy, scrutinising the Ministry of Defence, armed forces strategy, procurement, and operations. Private meetings are typically held for sensitive or classified discussions that cannot take place in open session.
The Defence Committee's work directly shapes parliamentary scrutiny of defence spending, military readiness, and strategic policy. Private sessions often deal with classified intelligence or sensitive operational matters. The outcomes influence defence policy, equipment procurement, and parliamentary accountability for the armed forces.
