The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Oral Statement of 1 September on Ukraine, Official Report columns 93-94, how many of the 5 million rounds delivered to Ukraine were manufactured in the UK.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

Where the UK’s manufacturing industry can meet Ukraine’s artillery requirements, the Ministry of Defence sources from UK industry.

The UK’s military support to Ukraine is based upon Ukraine’s needs, prioritising speed of delivery for equipment.

For operational security reasons we are unable to give a breakdown of exactly how many have been manufactured in the UK.
