Defence Nuclear Enterprise: Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what percentage of the Ministry of Defence budget was spent on the Defence Nuclear Enterprise in 2024-25.
Answered by Luke Pollard
In 2024-25, 18% of the Ministry of Defence budget was spent on the Defence Nuclear Enterprise.
The Defence Nuclear Enterprise is a hugely complex, scientifically advanced and risky portfolio which spans decades. As a Government we are undertaking significant recapitalisation as it renews the UK's nuclear deterrent as a major national endeavour and Defence's top priority.
