Join us for a presentation by Professor Ron Smith from Birkbeck University of London as we discuss the future of military spending in the UK. With the Labour Government pledging to increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP – with the support of other political parties, the UK is set to spend billions of pounds more on the military in coming years, despite already spending more than £100,000 every minute of the year.
Prof Ron Smith is Defence and Political Economist, author and expert on the UK military spending landscape. We are delighted that he will be able to join us for our AGM to discuss the ongoing Strategic Defence Review as well as identifying areas where military spending could be reduced.
There will be time for questions and discussion following the talk.
