John Healey pushed for UK to join defence investment bank
Former defence secretary John Healey privately advocated for the UK to join the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB), an initiative led by Canada. Allies claim the Treasury blocked the move, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves reportedly unwilling to pay the £870m upfront investment. The DSRB aims to fund defence projects at low costs and is expected to launch at a Nato summit.
