The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to collaborate with Ukrainian (a) hardware and (b) software technology companies in the defence sector; and what lessons he has learned from that collaboration.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Since Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has collaborated with both Ukrainian hardware and software technology companies in the defence sector.

UK MOD is constantly assessing what lessons can be learned from all partnerships, including how close and agile partnerships can help both Ukraine and UK defence industrial capability and capacity.
