Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding allocated to the armed forces.

UK defence spending is at its highest level in history and increasing in real terms. We have increased the budget for our Equipment Plan and set out our longer-term aspiration to invest 2.5% of GDP on defence.

We continue to meet all operational commitments, including participating in every single NATO mission and tackling attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
