The govt have recently halved funding to State School Cadet units and Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Allowances. This is leading to reductions in activities and we think having a highly destructive impact on young people across the UK. We think this particularly impacts those from poorest backgrounds.

We believe Armed Forces families are consistently let down by the service providers that are supposed to maintain Service Family Accommodation (SFA). We want the Government to review and enhance the rights of SFA tenants, so they have at least the same rights as private tenants.

We think we must bolster defence given the Russia Ukraine war. We believe that we mustn't think that when the war ends things will go back to how they were before. We think we will need to revert to previous levels of spending, for example in the mid 80's we spent 5% of GDP on defence!

Recently, it was reported that flying objects were making incursions into airspace above US airbases located in the UK, with what I believe appears to be minimal effective deterrence. The UK government must be as transparent as possible with what it knows about these craft.
