The UK is currently the largest European Defence spender in NATO and the second largest in the Alliance overall.

The UK remains committed to spending at least 2% of its GDP on Defence for every year of this parliament and meets both NATO spending guidelines.

Spending beyond the current Parliament will be subject to a further Spending Review.
