Defence: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increased defence spending on Wales.
Answered by Jo Stevens
The Defence Industrial Strategy will ensure that defence is an engine for growth across the UK, including Wales.
Wales’s thriving defence sector will benefit from its own Defence Growth Deal backed by a share of £250m.
The deal will harness Wales’s strengths in autonomy and aerospace, unlocking growth, innovation, and jobs across defence and the wider advanced manufacturing sector.
