Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February to Question 110439 on Defence: Expenditure, from which Department's budget the 0.47% of GDP spend not included in the table will come from.

In line with NATO guidance, the UK has consistently counted spend across Government towards defence spending, provided it meets the definition.

Which additional Departments this will be from will be set out as part of the UK's return for 2027.
