It seems rather disingenuous.
Actually it's 10 billion in total ,2 billion was promised in last years autumn statement .I think the only way that much can be found is at the expense of other services unless the planned modernisation will free up loads of money which I doubt .
Having said that 10 billion is quite easy to find over 5 yrs with a good economy
