In our view national defence aspirations are cut by a lack of investment in defence. As a veteran I reflect aghast at how the RN has shuffled diminished & become hamstrung.","additional_details":"All government departments put competing demands on the public purse and I think social projects always seem to triumph. In my view, a society blind to the geopolitical and antagonist risks that threaten our security and interests, cogent appeals and socialisation by our military elite are ignored and the governments’ inaction, simply wastes time. Notwithstanding the evolution of warfare, we will always need personal and hardware to project our values.\r\nI think bonds will provide a ring fenced fund to kickstart the process NOW.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":33,"closing_date":"2026-10-14","created_at":"2026-03-08T16:42:46.420Z","updated_at":"2026-06-29T06:56:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-14T15:15:05.736Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-10T09:53:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Nieo Pieter Reynolds","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoD","name":"Ministry of Defence","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":33}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Birmingham Ladywood","ons_code":"E14001096","mp":"Rt Hon Shabana Mahmood KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Birmingham Northfield","ons_code":"E14001097","mp":"Laurence Turner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Broxtowe","ons_code":"E14001140","mp":"Juliet Campbell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Central Devon","ons_code":"E14001155","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Mel Stride MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cheltenham","ons_code":"E14001161","mp":"Max Wilkinson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Clacton","ons_code":"E14001174","mp":"Nigel Farage MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Colchester","ons_code":"E14001176","mp":"Pam Cox MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Grinstead and Uckfield","ons_code":"E14001212","mp":"Mims Davies MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Harpenden and Berkhamsted","ons_code":"E14001268","mp":"Victoria Collins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hazel Grove","ons_code":"E14001277","mp":"Lisa Smart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hove and Portslade","ons_code":"E14001296","mp":"Rt Hon Peter Kyle MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Islington North","ons_code":"E14001305","mp":"Rt Hon Jeremy Corbyn MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Milton Keynes Central","ons_code":"E14001369","mp":"Emily Darlington MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Herefordshire","ons_code":"E14001395","mp":"Dr Ellie Chowns MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Penrith and Solway","ons_code":"E14001424","mp":"Markus Campbell-Savours MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Richmond and Northallerton","ons_code":"E14001444","mp":"Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Shipley","ons_code":"E14001472","mp":"Anna Dixon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West Hertfordshire","ons_code":"E14001496","mp":"Mr Gagan Mohindra MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge","ons_code":"E14001523","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Gavin Williamson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Waveney Valley","ons_code":"E14001569","mp":"Adrian Ramsay MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Winchester","ons_code":"E14001587","mp":"Dr Danny Chambers MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Worthing West","ons_code":"E14001599","mp":"Dr Beccy Cooper MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Wyre Forest","ons_code":"E14001601","mp":"Mark Garnier MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wythenshawe and Sale East","ons_code":"E14001602","mp":"Mike Kane MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Belfast East","ons_code":"N05000001","mp":"Rt Hon Gavin Robinson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Angus and Perthshire Glens","ons_code":"S14000065","mp":"Dave Doogan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dundee Central","ons_code":"S14000075","mp":"Chris Law MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":3},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":5},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":5},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":7},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":5},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":2},{"name":"Northern Ireland","ons_code":"N","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
