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.
