Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent estimate he has made of the percentage of GDP needed to be spent in order to fulfil the defence and security objectives of his Department set out in the Integrated Review.
The Department continues to assess the threats we face, and the capabilities we need in order to address them. It is important to ensure that our plans are properly financed and supported, and this work is not driven by striving for a percentage of GDP.
