| Our new overview looks at Ministry of Defence (MoD) spending in 2024-25.
The Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) purpose is to protect the nation by ensuring security and safeguarding the UK’s national interests and prosperity. In 2025 the government published the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) which signalled a landmark shift in the UK’s deterrence and defence.
In 2024-25, the MoD spent £52.7 billion on its running costs, up from £51.2 billion in 2023-24. This includes day-to-day resources such as staff costs, maintaining military equipment, and management of the Defence estate. | | Read the Overview | |
