Ammunition: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many manufacturing jobs have been created to support the Next Generation Munitions Solution agreement (a) between 11 July 2023 and 4 July 2024 and (b) since 5 July 2024 in (i) Washington in Tyne & Wear and (ii) Glascoed, Wales.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not currently hold the number of manufacturing jobs created to support the Next Generation Munitions Solution agreement in the specified time period.
The Department has requested BAE Systems, (who deliver the Next Generation Munitions Solution for the MOD) to provide updated figures, and once they are received I will write to the hon. Member and will place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
