Changes to UK defence plan ‘will not include more funding’

Changes to the government's defence investment plan (DIP) after John Healey's resignation will not include more funding, it is understood.

The government has been under pressure to look again at the plan after the former defence secretary quit, accusing Sir Keir Starmer and the chancellor of being "unwilling" to provide sufficient funding for the armed forces.

New defence secretary Dan Jarvis is yet to finalise the plan, which could include changes to the mix of measures in the plan, rather than the overall figure of funding, it is understood.
