Defence: Capital Investment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the proportion of defence investment expected to come from domestic rather than overseas private capital by 2030.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Ministry of Defence has not set a fixed target for the proportion of defence investment expected to come from domestic rather than overseas private capital by 2030.
The Government’s priority is to make the UK the most attractive place in the world to invest in defence, security and resilience, while ensuring investment supports national security, sovereign capability, UK-based defence and dual-use businesses, jobs, readiness and growth.
The Defence Finance and Investment Strategy will set out how Government will work with domestic and international investors, public financial institutions and industry to develop credible investment propositions, while protecting national security and commercially sensitive information.
