The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the (a) Land Industrial Strategy and (b) the manufacturing industry on Project Grayburn.

Answered by Maria Eagle

I refer the hon. Members to the answer I gave on 28 April 2025 to Question 45196.

In alignment with the Land Industrial Strategy, recent analysis focussed on job creation in the UK manufacturing sector, project costs and the procurement thresholds necessary to encourage private investment from industry. I am withholding further detail relating to the conducted analysis due to reasons of commercial sensitivity.
