The Government prioritises our National Security, currently spending more than £50 billion a year on defence.

Departmental expenditure limits for 2025-26 will be set alongside the Budget in October, which will also confirm control totals for 2024-25. A multi-year Spending Review, due to conclude in Spring 2025, will set Departmental expenditure limits for future years.
