Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence Spending and Readiness.


Defence Spending and Readiness

The hon. Gentleman is being very generous with his time. The Liberal Democrats are famously known for their love of bicycling. Does he agree that it would be a good idea for the Government to drop their plan to spend £4.5 billion over five years on creating cycleways and rededicate that money to defence?
