We are in discussions with European partners on how to use immobilised sovereign Russian assets, and there is strong support from the Prime Minister, Chancellor, and Defence Secretary for this issue. We need to continue making the case for Russia to pay for its damage to Ukraine.

We have taken significant steps on the Russian oil price cap and continue to look at more methods alongside our allies. We are committed to maintaining NATO unity and supporting Ukraine through the coalition of the willing, Multinational Force Ukraine, and further actions.

We continue to look at ways to use frozen Russian assets effectively, alongside our allies. The Government has taken steps regarding Roman Abramovich's assets and will consider further actions related to historical Russian tax avoidance.

I agree on the importance of these points. It is for Ukraine to decide its future in negotiations, but security guarantees exist within a framework enabling deployment of western forces and preventing Putin from regrouping.

The majority of seized Russian assets are held by Belgium. We are discussing this directly with Belgian colleagues and taking steps to prevent Russian interference and defend ourselves better.

We are increasing defence spending with £5 billion extra this year and every year for the next 10 years. We need to step up as a country, not just within Defence but across Government and society.

Children should never be pawns of war. We have committed more than £2.8 million to support efforts for the return and reintegration of Ukrainian children deported by Russia.

The maritime services ban is being phased in to align with EU friends introducing equivalent restrictions. However, the Government share impatience for swift action.

Lance Corporal George Hooley's service is deeply appreciated on all Benches. His ultimate sacrifice is acknowledged with great respect.

This Government’s approach has been different from previous Governments. We have revealed Russian activity precisely because of increasing threats. For instance, revealing the Yantar spy ship's activity over UK infrastructure and laser-shining incidents at RAF pilots. The Minister also mentioned the importance of taking a whole-of-Government and whole-of-society approach to counter these threats.

We entered into negotiations over SAFE in good faith but were not willing to accept a deal that was not in the best interests of UK taxpayers or British defence industry. We continue to work bilaterally with European friends, allowing up to 35% participation from British companies.

The coalition of the willing is ready to deploy. The coalition has three main elements: safe skies, securing airspace with combat air Typhoon jets; safe seas, securing maritime domain; and supporting regeneration of Ukrainian forces.

Russia’s reckless use of mines threatens not only Ukraine's military forces but also civilians. The UK supports efforts with Ukrainian friends and will support de-mining efforts after peace, including clearing maritime mines in the Black Sea.

The Minister wishes all Ukrainians a very merry Christmas and hopes for a peaceful new year, emphasising the UK's support at home and abroad.

The Minister agrees with the importance of using frozen Russian assets as leverage in peace negotiations, stressing that UK should move with international allies.

The Minister mentioned early steps taken towards a digital targeting web, which will increase lethality by integrating sensors and effectors. Money is being spent to develop this concept further.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising the lightweight multirole missile contract that we secured earlier this year in support of the production facility in Belfast. Defence is an engine for growth, and we can use not only the increased spending on our defence, but that in support of our friends in Ukraine to create more good, well-paid and decent jobs in every part of the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right; my sense of many Ukrainian soldiers on the front is that they are tired but undefeated. The courage that we see from them, and their innovative spirit in using new technologies to defend their country and their people against this illegal attack, should give us all courage and pride; it will continue to do so. I encourage the hon. Gentleman to look at Project Renovator, which is how we are supporting Ukrainian service personnel to recuperate and then get back on the frontline. As well as supporting that effort, we are providing those fighting forces with the equipment and innovative new technology that they need, especially in drones and air defence missiles, to ensure that we can keep Ukraine in the fight, as well as putting it in the best possible position at the negotiating table.

The right hon. Gentleman is seeking to extend the debate we have just had on a separate matter. He will know that that is not a point of order, and it is not a matter for the Chair whether the MOD is going to bring forward the defence investment plan.
