Sounds daftly futuristic, but this is actually something we'll have to deal with very soon.

Defence Budget

Reviews of defence budgets should be tied to a review of commitments, not just expenditure, to ensure that UK Armed Forces are properly equipped and trained for role our defence and foreign policies are demanding of them.

Lethal Autonomous Robots

Giving machines the power to decide who lives and dies on the battlefield is an unacceptable application of technology[^1]. Development of lethal autonomous robots will be made illegal in the UK.

We will work with the UN and other international bodies to create an international treaty banning the development and use of lethal autonomous robots.
