The Price of Liberty ...is defence expenditure running at around £2,800 million per year. But how is the money spent? Is it buying us the best bargain in defence, or dare we spend less?
A look at the complex business of budgeting for Britain's defence. Who decides the priorities which determine how vast sums of taxpayers' money are spent? How much control has Parliament?
