Written Answers
Factories: Ammunition
Asked by: Lord Beamish (Labour - Life peer)
Monday 17th November 2025

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with local authorities, combined authorities and industry representatives in the North East regarding the potential of an "always on" munitions factory in the region.

Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

It is vital we invest our defence spending across UK whenever possible to grow our economy and industrial base. As set out in our recent publication UK Defence Footprint, MoD spent £178 million in the North East in 2024 to 2025. To support economic growth, our industrial base and defence capacity, we have committed £1.5 billion in the Strategic Defence Review to move munitions production to “always on” and build six new munitions and energetics factories, taking our total munitions spend this parliament to £6 billion. The MOD is carefully considering arrangements for those factories, including their potential locations, and more detail will be set out in due course.
