Defence

Proceeding contribution from Grant Shapps (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 May 2024. It occurred during Debate on Defence.

No, I still have not confirmed that because, before the extra half a billion, if we take the outcome from last year and the amount that was pledged for this year—including supplementaries, to be clear, which is the same basis as last year—it is an increase of 1.8%. However, this is rather beside the point, because since the time we debated this question at the Select Committee on Defence, we have committed to putting in another £75 billion in cash terms from the baseline over the next six years.
