<p>The Government remains committed to real terms growth of the Equipment Plan by
1% each year and to meeting the NATO guideline to spend 20% of its defence expenditure
on major equipment, and associated research and development. We plan to spend £179
billion over the 10 years to 2027 to deliver the cutting edge ships, aircraft, and
armoured vehicles our military need now and in the future. This includes increasing
spending on Equipment Support from £8.3 billion in 2017-18 to almost £10 billion in
2026-27.</p>
