Times Radio: UK Defence Spending - what is affordable

We don't actually have a good understanding of what the total costing of the defence programme looks like. That's in part because the MoD hasn't been able to publish what used to be called the equipment plan, which it did on an annual basis, for about three years now. The last one, the National Audit Office said, had a gap in it that ranged over ten years from a few billion pounds up to potentially nearly £30 billion."
