After the unprecedented resignation of former Defence Secretary John Healey and his deputy in a massive row about military funding, an armed forces head says operations and training will have to be slashed
The British head of the armed forces has warned the military will have to “dial back’ training and operations if they do not receive greater funding.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, Chief of the Defence Staff, was appearing before the Lords International Relations and Defence Committee. Sir Richard told peers he was “concerned” about funding for “day-to-day activity” in the context of rising inflation following a major government bust-up over defence funding.
