Answered by Luke Pollard
Design work for the Exports function is well underway and building momentum through several pilot government to government exports. Initial stand up is expected no later than end October 2025 with full implementation continuing over the next 12 months. The MOD expects to work closely with FCDO, the Cabinet Office, DBT and HMT through the Defence Growth Board (the FCDO is not a standing member but can be invited).
