Legislate that Defence Spending be a minimum of 3% GDP (or greater), be Index Linked against Inflation & Ring Fenced Against Future Budget Cuts

Additional Information

The main responsibility of government is to provide sufficient resources to guarantee the defence of the nation locally & internationally. We must guarantee our ability to defend against all possible aggressors (military, terrorist or alternative), provision strategically for the long term security of the UK in general war fighting terms & provide the ability to positively contribute to Humanitarian / Disaster Relief / Good Causes globally. In order to achieve this we must commit sufficient resources allowing us to meet in terms of Finance / Equipment Capability / Manpower / ongoing R&D / etc to deliver against these commitments. Military spend plus advanced R&D positively affects our economy, investments remain predominantly within the UK thereby creating employment & energising our economy by driving technological development. Our military is a force for good, our current freedoms & liberties were delivered on the backs of this – recognise this through continued investment.
