The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 10 March 2025 to Question 33946 on Ministry of Defence: Public Appointments, what the proposed remuneration package for the new National Armaments Director is.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The National Armaments Director will have significant experience in leading and transforming large organisations, and the ability to build strong, influential partnerships across the globe. We have therefore benchmarked the salary against Defence industry best practice and standards to offer a competitive remuneration package to attract the right candidate with the right skills.

The recruitment process for the role has begun, with a search for candidates underway. The application window for the post will open imminently, and the salary will be published alongside the advert.
