The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 20 October 2025 to question 79699 on Antiship Missiles, by what date will the Future Cruise Anti-Ship Weapon programme full business case receive a decision on approval.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Future Cruise Anti-Ship Weapon programme continues to move towards its Full Business Case approval in 2026. The schedule for completing the approval process is structured to allow continued delivery of industry work (where approvals are already in place to protect work throughout 2026) without the approval process introducing any delay.
