Ministers said the Ministry of Defence will publish a defence investment plan before the NATO summit in Ankara, but opposition MPs questioned where the money will come from and whether the Treasury is doing enough to close a reported £28 billion gap by 2030. Reeves said Labour is delivering the biggest rise in defence spending since the end of the cold war, backed by cuts to overseas aid and work with NATO allies on shared equipment funding.

MPs argued over whether ministers are moving fast enough to rebuild the armed forces and meet rising threats from Russia and other hostile states. Conservatives and Liberal Democrats pressed for defence spending to rise to at least 3% of GDP and for a clear funding plan, while Labour said spending is already rising, recruitment and morale are improving, and the defence investment plan will be published before the NATO summit in Ankara. The main dispute was how quickly Britain should rearm and what, if anything, should be cut or rebalanced to pay for it.

Defence minister Luke Pollard said a fully funded Defence Investment Plan will be published before the NATO summit, covering equipment, housing, sites and personnel, but MPs questioned whether the package is enough to deliver the Strategic Defence Review, reassure industry and avoid gaps in major programmes such as the Global Combat Air Programme.
