Ammunition: Factories

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, where the six new munitions factories announced in the Strategic Defence Review on 2 June 2025 will be built.

Answered by Luke Pollard

We will set out that detail in due course, but our overall munitions investment will help support jobs and growth across every nation of the UK. We already have important facilities across the UK, supporting thousands of jobs. This new investment will be used to build at least six new munitions and energetics factories across the UK, creating hundreds of skilled jobs and supporting the Government's Plan for Change by driving growth in every region and nation of the UK.
