Defence Budget Increase Debate
The Eulenbourg will be debating an increase in the defence budget over the April session. At present the budget for defence is set at 0.1% of GDP with 2% set for research and development. The MODFA wishes to extend the Type 46 fleet by a further ship and develop a carrier with similar stealth technology along with a support/science vessel. HIM Caprican Government has opened a preliminary public vote on the issue to gain the views of the people.
