Guided Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of changes to the timing of defence spending being 2.5 per cent of GDP on the UK’s stock of MBDA-manufactured missile systems.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Government is fully committed to spending 2.5% of GDP on defence as soon as possible. The Government will set out a clear path to 2.5% at a future fiscal event.
The Government will deliver a programme for defence which is affordable and provides the capabilities we need to counter the growing, and diversifying, threats Britain is facing in the 21st century.
