AUKUS Defence Partnership (14 Mar 2023)

Alex Chalk: I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his remarks. He is absolutely right that this is an announcement of such moment that it will require cross-party and generational support. It is important to note precisely the scale of what is being proposed. As he rightly indicated, this is about not simply the sale of a weapons system, but the growth of a capability across continents and across...

Alex Chalk: I am grateful to my right hon. Friend, who is assiduous in his attention to the issue of the deterrent and the nuclear submarine capability in general.

His point about skills is well made. We are clear, as are those at...

AUKUS Defence Partnership (14 Mar 2023)

Friend that the first boat will be built...
