Lord Dannatt (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2026

Debate

Defence Funding

Contribution

My Lords, does the Minister agree that progress towards the 3% and 3.5% targets for defence spending can best be described as glacial? Will he undertake that the Treasury will look at imaginative ways of funding defence, in particular the innovative contribution that small and medium-sized enterprises can make, along with their access to private funding? It does not all have to come from the Treasury.
