Summary
Rachel Reeves told Parliament the UK will release its long-delayed defense investment plan before the July 7-8 NATO summit in Ankara.
Monday talks with Defense Secretary Dan Jarvis and Chief of Defense Staff Richard Knighton focused on a plan that Reeves said would channel more money into the military.
Reeves used the pledge to push back on criticism that the coming package will offer too small an increase in defense spending.
The timing puts the plan under scrutiny ahead of the NATO meeting, where allies are expected to weigh members’ military spending commitments.
