Defence: Exports

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 13 January 2026UIN 103158

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the press release of 26 December 2025 on defence exports, which countries accounted for the largest share of UK defence exports in 2025.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The figure in the press release stating the UK secures over £20 billion in defence exports to allies in 2025 published on 26 December 2025 refers to the value of several significant and already publicised defence export deals agreed in 2025.

The Ministry of Defence does not publish country level data for defence exports. The most recently published defence export statistics, covering 2023, details exports by destination region.
