Wrapping up his speech at the Institute for Government, defence secretary John Healey has said “This is a government whose commitment to defence is unshakable.”.
And I want the people who are dedicated, that I talked about in their different ways, right across defence, in and out of uniform, dedicated, defending our country, and keeping people safe.
What I’ve been struck by is how responsive defence is to direction and decision, how wide the appetite for change within defence is, and that’s at every level.
Announcing what he described as “the biggest shake up of UK defence for over 50 years”, Healey said:.
This is a government whose commitment to defence is unshakable.
