Conservatives: Response to Labour's Defence Industrial Strategy

James Cartlidge MP, Shadow Defence Secretary, said:

"It is extraordinary that Labour is announcing a Defence Industrial Strategy on the day they're reportedly delaying their 2.5% timetable once again, from March to June.

“With every day that 2.5 per cent is delayed, Labour undermines the ability of our armed forces to rearm at the pace and scale they need to meet today's threats."
