19. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of their gross national product is spent on defence by European members of NATO; and what savings would be made if United Kingdom military expenditure were reduced to the average level of such countries.

Mr. Mulley

The latest available information giving the percentage of GNP devoted to defence by the member countries of NATO will be included in the Statement on the Defence Estimates to be published shortly.
