Funding sources expose the plan's procurement assumptions

A funding-table walkthrough questions money booked from future savings, asset sales, and still-unsettled budget choices.

Notes

The Defence Investment Plan's funding lines include departmental capital reductions, asset sales, Treasury support, transport savings, and money expected from the 2026 budget. Some of these sources depend on decisions or savings outside the Ministry of Defence. Expected procurement efficiencies are also different from cash already available for ships, weapons, or infrastructure. The distinction separates funded commitments from assumptions that still have to be delivered.
