Baroness Goldie
The noble Lord will be aware of this Government’s very creditable record in relation to defence expenditure. We saw an upping of £2.2 billion for 2019-20. We have committed to a 0.5% increase above inflation for the lifetime of the Parliament. The Government’s commitment to and resolute support for defence are self-evident.
The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
The time allotted for this Question has now elapsed. My apologies to the noble Lord, Lord West of Spithead.
