Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Defence (John Healey)
This Government are making the biggest increase in defence investment since the end of the cold war. This year alone, we have more than £11 billion more in the defence budget than in the last year of the previous Government. As the Prime Minister said in February, “we are going to have to spend more faster”, and we will.
