Ministry of Defence: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 47 of the Strategic Defence Review: Making Britain Safer, published on 2 June 2025, when he plans to appoint a data and AI lead within each procurement capability portfolio in his Department.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Ministry of Defence is introducing service-agnostic capability portfolios to increase flexibility and drive pace in procurement.
Portfolios will improve collaboration and integration pan-defence and ensure that cross-cutting aspects such as data and AI are embedded in delivery from the outset and throughout the lifecycle of new capabilities.
