We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to increase Defence funding to 3% of GDP by 2012. More details
Submitted by Richard Carling – Deadline to sign up by: 18 February 2008 – Signatures: 216
Although defence spending increases steadily, it increases by small amounts and remains lower than needed to defend UK interests. The UK National Defence Association calls for a level of defence spending at 3% of GDP. This is still lower than the level when the Falklands Conflict was fought.
