Grant Shapps is expected to become the UK's new defence secretary as the prime minister carries out a reshuffle at the top of government, Sky News understands.
, he said the Ministry of Defence was now"more modern, better funded and more confident than the organisation I took over in 2019", and it was"back on the path to being once again world class with world class people".
And in a parting shot to secure his department's future, Mr Wallace added:"I know you agree with me that we must not return to the days where defence was viewed as a discretionary spend by government and savings were achieved by hollowing out. "I genuinely believe that over the next decade the world will get more insecure and more unstable. We both share the belief that now is the time to invest."
