Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the most recent figures for the percentage of gross domestic product spent on defence for each NATO member state; and where figures are available, what those percentages are expected to be in two years' time.

The most recent figures for the percentage of gross domestic product spent on defence for each NATO member state were published in July 2016 and can be found in table 3 of the attached.

Under this Government there are no published figures available for future NATO defence spending, however the UK is committed to meet our NATO pledge to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence every year of this decade in accordance with the NATO guidelines.
