Proceeding contribution from Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 July 2018. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Brussels Summit 2018.
NATO Brussels Summit 2018
As the Statement made clear, there was and is a sense of urgency and renewed commitment to move towards spending 2% of GDP on defence by 2024. It is only fair to say that our
European allies and Canada, for instance, added $41 billion to their defence spending in 2017 alone. That is a commitment and we are confident that countries have a sense of urgency. We will continue to meet our commitment and will encourage our allies to do the same.
