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?
Taking part in the programme are Lord Carrington, Minister of Defence; Denis Healey, MP, Defence Minister in the last Labour Government; and Dr Joseph Luns, Secretary-General of NATO.
