Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Prime Minister’s defence speech in Warsaw of 23 April 2024, by how much each Department's research and development budget will be reduced to help fund the commitment to spend 2.5% of gross domestic product on defence by 2030.
We have committed to increase government R&D spending by £2 billion, from £20 billion in 2024-25 to £22 billion in the next Parliament.
