On 17 March, the Prime Minister said that UK defence spending had fallen in real terms on one or two occasions. I think that "once or twice" was the term that he used. According to everyone else, it has certainly fallen twice, and has possibly fallen three or four times. Was what the Prime Minister said about its having fallen "once" true?
