Whole cabinet' recognises need to spend more on defence, minister says

The whole government recognises the need to spend more on defence, a cabinet minister has said.

Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: "The whole cabinet, the whole government, I think most people in this country recognise the pressures the world is under, recognise more will have to be spent on defence."

The UK's target is 2.5%, but it is currently at around 2.3% - with no timetable for when spending might increase.
