Debate between Al Carns and Bradley Thomas

Monday 15th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Bradley Thomas (Bromsgrove) (Con)]

[The Minister for the Armed Forces (Al Carns)]

That is exactly why, on Thursday, we launched the Military Intelligence Services, to map and track those threats, deter them and, if necessary, defeat them.
