Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has been warned of a "substantial" revolt by Tory MPs in the event of more cuts to army numbers and naval capability.
Ex-minister James Gray urged ministers not to use a security review next year as "camouflage" for a cut in manpower.
Some Tory MPs have spoken out to warn the UK is at a defence crossroads.
In his first Commons outing since he took the job, Mr Williamson said he was "in awe" of British troops and would do everything he could to support them.

Good for them.

But Labour said Mr Williamson - who was a surprise choice to succeed Michael Fallon when he resigned last month - had shown little sign of trying to twist the chancellor's arm in the run-up to last week's Budget.

No surprises there then.
