Defence: Procurement

Asked by Cameron ThomasIndependentMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 11 February 2026UIN 110675

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of a joint procurement plan for the nations making up the Coalition of the Willing.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Alongside France, the UK is jointly leading the Coalition of the Willing to support Ukraine's long-term security. The Coalition remains focused on increasing pressure on Russia, sustaining the flow of military assistance to Ukraine, and tightening economic restrictions to degrade Putin's war machine and help create the conditions for a just peace.

No decisions have been made on a joint procurement plan under the Coalition of the Willing.
