The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to implement the Plymouth Defence Growth Deal.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Our ambition is for all five Defence Growth Deals, including the Plymouth Defence Growth Deal, to be operational by the end of Summer 2026. We have already made tangible progress with the launch of Team Plymouth on 19 September, who will be leading the delivery of the Plymouth Defence Growth Deal.
