Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jonathan Hinder and Al Carns

Monday 15th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[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.

[Jonathan Hinder (Pendle and Clitheroe) (Lab)]

The Government’s deal to build 20 new Typhoons for NATO member Turkey is welcome news for jobs in Lancashire, including for my Pendle and Clitheroe constituents who work at BAE’s Samlesbury site. I am sure that the Minister will agree that, in this geopolitical environment, we need sovereign capability more than ever, so can he give us some more good news, back British workers and put in a domestic order for Typhoons?
