Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to reach the stated target of spending 3 per cent of GDP on defence by 2030.

As confirmed in the Spending Review (SR) 2025, this Government has a fully funded path to reaching 2.6% NATO qualifying defence spending by 2027, with an ambition to reach 3% by the end of the next Parliament, when fiscal and economic conditions allow. We will set budgets for the next Spending Review period at SR27. The NATO Defence Investment Pledge will be reviewed by NATO Allies in 2029.
