Ammunition: Ammonia
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the levels of imported ammonia required for munitions manufacturing.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Ammonia, an important precursor in the production of energetics and munitions, is one of many chemicals critical to defence manufacturing and, as such, supply levels are kept under review.
The levels of ammonia required for munitions manufacturing differs between programmes. The fulfilment of those requirements is managed by Defence suppliers, and the MOD works closely with them to monitor and review national and international supply networks to ensure availability and manage risks to Defence outputs.
