Defence: Economic Growth
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, since his department’s Defence Industrial Strategy, published 8 September 2025, what progress has been made on the Defence Growth Deals.
Answered by Ministry of Defence
Since the publication of the Defence Industrial Strategy, all five Defence Growth Deals have launched, confirming £50 million of defence investment each for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Plymouth, and South Yorkshire. We continue to work closely with local and devolved governments, other government departments, academia and industry to plan and deliver this investment across the United Kingdom.
