Increase defence spending to 5.5% GDP by 2029

Petition Details

Increase the defence budget to 5.5% of GDP by 2029.

Additionally, we want the Government to recreate the dissolved Admiralty and Air Ministry Departments.

Additional Information

We believe these measures will help increase the size of the Royal Navy.

In an age of growing threats, we feel Great Britain must reassert herself as a major power of world affairs.
