Defence Questions

On Monday 2 February, the House of Commons held a session in which Members of Parliament directed a series of questions to Defence Secretary John Healey and the ministers serving under him. The proceedings were recorded as part of the parliamentary programme’s coverage of the day’s debates.

The broadcast is a single‑episode programme that aired on Monday 2 February 2026. Listed as a “programme” rather than a drama or documentary, it falls under the generic “episode” genre and presents a factual report of parliamentary business. Its core focus is the series of questions raised in the House of Commons to the Secretary of State for Defence, John Healey, together with the ministers who sit on his team. Members of Parliament put forward queries covering a range of defence‑related matters, and Healey and his colleagues responded on the floor of the Commons. The coverage captures the formal exchange between MPs and the defence department, documenting both the inquiries and the answers given. By recording the dialogue, the programme provides viewers with an unembellished view of how the defence portfolio is held to account during a typical parliamentary session. Overall, the episode serves as a concise record of that Monday’s questioning period, offering a clear snapshot of the issues raised and the government’s responses without any added commentary or analysis.
