The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to recommendation 50 of the Strategic Defence Review: Making Britain Safer: secure at home, strong abroad, published on 2 June 2025, if he will list the partners he plans to engage with to support the Integrated Air and Missile Defence programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Government's work to deliver the Strategic Defence Review recommendations will be set out in the Defence Investment Plan. Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) by nature involves all arms of our Armed Forces, linking with allies and industry to tackle the growing threat - the sensitivities of those relationships and our IAMD capability mean we are unable to publish a list at this time.
