Written Question
Ministry of Defence: Finance
Tuesday 19th December 2023

Asked by: Lord Bowness (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to make good the reported shortfall in the budget of the Ministry of Defence, and what effect such a shortfall will have on the UK’s supply of materials to Ukraine.

Answered by Earl of Minto - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The UK Government remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine, which is funded from the Treasury Reserves and not the defence budget. In parallel, we remain absolutely committed to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP as soon as economic and fiscal conditions allow.
