Indonesia: Shipbuilding
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Prime Minister's press release entitled £4bn maritime deal with Indonesia set to boost British jobs and support Indo-Pacific security, published on 21 November 2025, what proportion of the production for the joint maritime capability for Indonesia's navy will take place in the United Kingdom.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Partnership will enhance our shared commitment to stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific, upholding freedom of navigation and supporting a rules-based international order. It will also pave the way for greater interoperability and joint training between both navies. Due to commercial sensitivities, at this stage we are unable to release further information beyond what was shared in the press release of 21 November 2025.
