Which developing countries in receipt of United Kingdom aid spend more than 30 per cent., 20 per cent. and 10 per cent., each time respectively, of their national income on military expenditure.

Lord Reay

The information requested by the noble Lord is not available in a comprehensive or consistent form. The noble Lord will be aware of the work of the Swedish International Peace Research Institute and the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and may wish to refer to the latter's publication, The Military Balance 1989–90, which is available from the Libraries of the House.
