The comments made by David Davis, the Conservative MP for Haltemprice and Howden, on Twitter on 21 October 2022.

Ben Wallace – 2022 Statement Confirming Not Standing as Prime Minister
The statement made by Ben Wallace, the Secretary of State for Defence, on 21 October 2022.
As the Party starts the process of looking for a new leader, I would like to put on the record that I will not be letting my name go forward as a candidate. I am privileged to be the UK Defence Secretary and the current threat requires stability in that office.
The reasons I gave last time for not standing, have not changed. I will be looking to all candidates to recognise that you cannot have economic security at home without national security. This requires real investment for our Armed Forces and intelligence agencies.

I backed Rishi Sunak previously because I thought he was right on the economy and in helping to cut the cost of living. As Chancellor he also demonstrated a passion for skills and education to increase productivity. That’s why I’m pleased to support him again.
