Defence: Exports
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Spring Statement, published on 26 March 2025, whether his Department has been set a target by which to increase Defence exports.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The UK Government continually assesses the defence export market and plays an important role in supporting industry partners with the export of UK defence equipment. Alongside other measures announced in the Spring Statement, defence exports will play a key role in supporting the Government’s Growth agenda. Improving export performance will be a key role for the National Armaments Director.
