The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many meetings his Department has had with Leonardo since 1 January 2026.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Leonardo is one of Defence’s key suppliers and therefore Ministers and officials have consistently met with representatives from the company since 1 January 2026. The Department continues to have conversations at every level regarding current programmes and wider business interests across the UK, though the total number of meetings is not centrally recorded.
