We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Urgently & Substantially build up the UK Armed Force's conventional Capabilities
We plead with the Government to abandon cuts to the Armed Forces and instead immediately initiate a drastic build-up of conventional capabilities. Troop and Hardware levels are alarmingly low which could lead to catastrophe if not remedied in very short order.
More details
The conflict in Ukraine & threat of conflict with China is proof that we need a large, formidable Military, especially but certainly not solely Naval, which cannot be raised overnight. As it stands the Armed forces are still capable, but everything is relative. Current planned investment is too little too distant. Our Nuclear Deterrent could prevent a direct attack upon the UK, but time and again the importance of Conventional forces is being shown to be critical for our protection.
