Defence Equipment: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, Table 6: Spending on the Land Domain, what is the breakdown of a) projects and b) proportion of funding allocated to each project from the £160 million against Personal Weapons and Equipment.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Following publication of the Defence Investment Plan, work to finalise the detailed allocation of funding across the Land Domain personal weapons and equipment portfolio remains ongoing. However, I can confirm that this investment will support the delivery of a range of personal equipment, including body armour, ballistic plates, weapon sights, night vision equipment and clothing. It will also support longer-term plans to establish domestic production of small arms.
