Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has called for increased investment in Britain’s forces

All well and good, but if you turn on the taps now, you will still be years down the line before anything equipment wise is available or has the trained manpower for them unless you aim to recruit those that have recently left, mind you cancelling some of the out of service dates might help, such as the Herc's and the recently retired nuclear submarines.,.

His call came amid reports that he has submitted a formal letter to Boris Johnson calling for a 20% increase in defence spending to make up for shortfalls in capability and counter the growing threat.
