We do not know what all the individual pay recommendations from the review bodies will be, but Verify has done some calculations that give a rough sense of the potential impact.

The government will unveil its major strategic defence review on Monday, which will outline its priorities for military and security spending in the coming years.It is understood that the defence review is based on the assumption that the 3% target is the trajectory spending will follow.

It means some of the measures in the plan will be unaffordable if that level of spending is not reached.The review will leave capacity for projects to be sped up and delivered faster if the 3% target is brought forward.It is expected to warn of

changing the nature of the dangers Britain faces.It will recommend the deployment of new "digital" experts alongside troops to protect them from enemy drones and to control the army's own, future, unmanned weapons.

The 130-page document, including about 45,000 words, will warn of the "immediate and pressing" danger posted by Russia and it will describe China as a "sophisticated and persistent challenge" but not as an enemy. It will also describe Iran and North Korea as "regional disruptors".

The government's independent budget watchdog, the OBR, said meeting the ambition to spend 3% of GDP on defence "would cost an additional £17.3 billion in 2029-30".which includes Technology Secretary Peter Kyle giving a report to the House of Commons about the impact of the new law on the creative industries, three months after it comes into force, if it doesn't change.

Mr Kyle also appears to have changed his views about UK copyright law.He once said copyright law was "very certain", now he says it is "not fit for purpose".

Perhaps to an extent both those things are true.The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology say that they're carrying out a wider consultation on these issues and will not consider changes to the Bill unless they're completely satisfied that they work for creators.
