MoD says it's investing £10 billion over ten years on munitions supply Grant Shapps was challenged last night over plans to spend twice as much on yachts as on new bullets for the Army's machine guns.
The spending plans are set out in the MoD's latest 'acquisition pipeline' proposals for potential contracts worth over £2 million and due for release within 18 months. Mr Shapps has also been urged to send gas masks to Ukrainian soldiers amid claims Russian soldiers are using poison gas However, Government sources said that the proposed spending on replacement yachts was part of a budgeting exercise for a 'future tender and is not confirmed'.
