The Prime Minister
I have already explained that this is the biggest investment in our armed forces since the cold war, and there will be no redundancies across the armed forces.
Jane Stevenson (Wolverhampton North East) (Con) [V]
I have been absolutely honoured this year to spend time with the Royal Navy, as part of the armed forces parliamentary scheme. In a world where new powers are using new tools to redefine the international order, does my right hon. Friend agree that it is vital that we now invest in new technologies such as cyber so that our fantastic armed forces personnel are fully equipped to face 21st-century challenges to our nation’s defence?
The Prime Minister
Yes, indeed, and that is why we are investing in cyber and in shipbuilding. By the end of this decade, we will have 24 frigates, as opposed to the 15 today.
