“when we came into Government, there was £54billion a year being spent on defence. Now there's £80billion a year being spent.”

“The plan brings us from 2.3 per cent of our GDP to 2.7 per cent, and then onwards in the next parliament to meeting our responsibilities to spend three per cent of our GDP on defence.”

“And for the about £1billion a year over the next four or five years, we'll outline where that is coming from when we get to the Budget for that year.”

“So we've got a £1.2trillion Government budget in this country”
