Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden says the UK is not considering introducing conscription.
He said it is important the UK does not find itself operating under "old assumptions" Latvian President Edgars Rinkeviks has urged European countries to follow his country's lead.
He says Europe is "quite weak" militarily and must step up in terms of its defence.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the Tories still stood by the plan which was in their manifesto.
"I don't think it was really exactly conscription that was being proposed, it was a National Citizen Service which is a bit different," he said.
The idea of getting younger people to do voluntary work and perform useful tasks is not a bad idea, he added.
