PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(16 June 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the Government's timetable is for increasing defence spending to meet NATO commitments; and whether he is satisfied that current funding levels are sufficient to deter Russian aggression and maintain the UK's obligations to its allies.

Asked by:
Naushabah Khan (Labour)

The Government remains committed to spending 3.5% of GDP on defence by 2035, as agreed at the NATO summit last year.

As the third-largest financial contributor, and the only European Ally to commit our full nuclear deterrent to NATO, the United Kingdom already plays a central role across the Alliance.
