The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of increasing levels of defence exports to Poland to support its East Shield programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The UK is committed to supporting Poland to develop its border security in the face of Russian aggression and has considered how to support Poland's East Shield programme in light of this. We continue to work with UK industry to consider and review export opportunities presented by this programme, including ways of increasing prosperity across the UK.
