**************
As a percentage of GDP, the UK is second in the world in spending on
defence:
"So today, the UK has the world's second largest defence industry
(as a percentage of GDP) employing some 345,000 people....
But most importantly, the defence industry is one of our great
success stories because approximately 40% of its output goes to
export, some £4.1bn in 2001.
We currently hold a fifth of the world defence market, placing us
second only to the United States."
