How Does The UK's Defence Spending Stack up?

Ahead of Forces TV's Defence debate on Friday, we feature a special interview with Malcolm Chalmers from the Royal United Services Institute.

One topic which has exercised all the political parties is whether they'll keep defence spending at the 2% of GDP - which the Prime Minister promised at the last Nato summit.

Our reporter James Hirst has been speaking to the director of UK defence policy studies at the Royal United Services Institute.

His interview with Malcolm Chalmers begins by setting the UK's 2% figure in context with partner nations.
