Business Secretary Peter Kyle denied the defence investment plan was in tatters following the resignations of John Healey and Al Carns.

He told Times Radio “the plan is being developed” and “we are determined to get it right”.

“We are talking about an enormous amount of money going into defence at a period of time where we have to modernise the way we think about defence, but also make sure that we do so in a way that benefits British jobs,” he said.

“This is highly complex. Now, the Prime Minister, all the way through this, has done it in a way, has delivered for defence, in a way that is challenging.

“Of course, he has had to take tough decisions.”
