Defence: Finance
Asked by: Baroness Goldie (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 6th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of delaying the publication of the Defence Investment Plan on the defence industry. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) While the Department continues to work flat out to finalise the DIP, delivery continues, for example progressing always-on munitions factories, delivering the Defence Housing Strategy and Defence Industrial Strategy, and securing agreements to export Typhoon Jets to Türkiye and Type 26 Frigates to Norway. In 2025 we secured over £20 billion in defence exports to allies, expected to be the highest since records began over 40 years ago.
The Department has signed more than 1,000 major defence contracts since July 2024, including 86% with British-based businesses, and spent more than £31 billion with UK industry last year – an above inflation increase in spending. |
