If all NATO countries committed to at least 2.5% of their GDP to defence, our collective budget would increase by more than £140 billion. Now is the time for all democratic nations across the world to ensure their defence spending is growing, and we will continue to make the case with our NATO Allies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 29/04/2024 16:39:10 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
