answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2022 answer text <p>The first responsibility of Government is to protect its citizens.</p><p> </p><p>Defence is one of a full spectrum of levers that we routinely use - alongside diplomatic, intelligence, economic, legal and strategic communication tools. For example, Defence continues to play a direct role in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, most recently through ongoing Royal Navy support to the international disaster relief efforts following the tsunami in Tonga; and last year providing a Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel to assist the US humanitarian aid mission in Haiti. Our Armed Forces are also always ready to respond to requests to support civil authorities, and from vaccine supply logistics to front line medical support they have played a critical role in supporting the response to the COVID pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>We must stay ahead of the increasingly complex threats to our people and allies by investing in, rather than cutting, defence budgets. That is why we are increasing defence spending by over £24 billion over the next four years.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 28/01/2022 11:20:25 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
