Opposition day: Defence spending and readiness

Rejected108 ayes · 307 noes

What the vote was about

This division was on an opposition day motion about defence spending and readiness. The motion addressed the adequacy of the UK's defence budget, which directly impacts Cornwall through its armed forces personnel, bases and associated businesses. The outcome affects local jobs, investment in infrastructure, and the region's contribution to national security, including maritime patrol and surveillance operations.

Why this division is tracked here

The original opposition motion on defence spending also raises major public-spending issues relevant to Cornwall's defence sector.
