31. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Minister of State for Defence what sum of money is represented by the difference between the 5.7 per cent. of gross national product which Her Majesty's Government spends on defence and the 4.2 per cent. which is the average for European members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

Lord Balniel

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Salford (East (Mr. Frank Allaun) on 25th November, 1971.—[Vol. 826, c. 1519–20.]
