Is the UK spending enough on defence?

The government’s delay in publishing the Defence Investment Plan (DIP) has undermined the UK's credibility with its allies and its ability to provide a stronger deterrent to its adversaries, say MPs. In a report into the Ministry of Defence’s 2024-25 accounts, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of MPs warned that the long delay to the DIP risks squandering the opportunities provided by advances in technology, hindering the government’s attempts to modernise the Armed Forces. The DIP, which was originally due last year, may now not be published until July, shortly before a NATO summit.
