Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by the Secretary of State for Defence in an interview with Sky News on 26 July, whether they estimate that defence spending on present plans will drop below two per cent of GDP by 2026.
The Department does not routinely publish forecast figures. The current Spending Review (SR2021) will last until 2025. Future spending decisions are for the next spending review.
