Speaking in a general debate on defence spending, Jesse Norman raises the need for heightened awareness of the seriousness of the current international threats and calls on the MOD to do more to build consent for increased spending on defence and the defence supply chain.
Following the Secretary of State for Defence’s statement on the cyber attack where a malign actor hacked into the armed forces payment network, Jesse Norman asks about sanctions against the contractor if that contractor is found to be in breach of MOD guidelines and raises concerns about the safety and wellbeing of the soldiers whose data was stolen.
Jesse Norman welcomes the Automated Vehicles Bill as it passes its final stages in the Commons. The Bill, which Jesse worked on when he was Transport Minister, addresses the legal and regulatory requirements in order to develop and deploy automated vehicles on public roads.
