As the Prime Minister has said, our EU membership helps keep the UK safer and stronger. We have the largest defence budget in the EU and the second largest in NATO. In addition, we have committed to spending 2 per cent of GDP on defence over the course of this Parliament, and the Ministry of Defence's budget will rise by 0.5 per cent above inflation every year to 2020-21. We are maintaining the size of the Army, and we are increasing the size of the Royal Navy, the RAF and the reserves.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 12/05/2016 10:21:18 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2016 answer text <p>In <em>‘HM Treasury analysis: the long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives</em>’ the central estimates for the annual loss of UK GDP under the 3 alternatives (relative to remaining in the EU) in 2030 are: 3.8% in the case of the EEA, 6.2% in the case of a negotiated bilateral agreement, and 7.5% in the WTO case. Expressed in 2015 terms that means a loss of GDP per household of £2,600 for the EEA case; £4,300 for the negotiated bilateral agreement case; and £5,200 for the WTO case.</p><p> </p><p>No estimate has been made of the impact on the EU GDP per household. This reflects a cautious approach, as, for example, the main estimates for the effect of leaving the EU do not take into account the negative economic impacts on the rest of the EU as a result of UK exit or the possible foregone benefits to the UK of future EU reform.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 06/05/2016 12:24:37 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley

The restriction applies to material published by or on behalf of “any Minister of the Crown, government department or local authority”, “the Government of Gibraltar, or any Gibraltar government department” or “any other person or body whose expenses are defrayed wholly or mainly out of public funds or by any local authority.” Specific exception is made for the Electoral Commission, the BBC, Sianel Pedwar Cymru and the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation. Section 125 also sets out a number of general exceptions to the restriction, such as the issuing of press notices, and making material available to people in response to specific requests.</p><p>Under charity law, charities can undertake campaigning, including campaigning at the EU referendum, and political activity where it is in support of their charitable purposes, and where the trustees consider it is in the interests of the charity. When doing so, charities must not engage in any party political activity, and must take care to protect the charity's independence and reputation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/04/2016 15:15:58 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2016 answer text <p><strong></strong>On 13 April 2016, HM Treasury published its analysis of the long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives. It concluded that the UK would be permanently poorer if it left the EU. The document also notes that a UK exit from the EU would be likely to have a significant negative effect on the economy in the short term.
