Written Question
Defence: Employment
Monday 21st February 2022

Asked by: Dean Russell (Conservative - Watford)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to help support defence jobs across the UK.

Answered by Jeremy Quin

Our most recent estimate shows Ministry of Defence investment in industry and commerce supporting over 200,000 jobs across the UK.

The £24 billion additional investment in defence, along with the changes we are making through the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy, will contribute to further economic growth and prosperity, including jobs, across the Union.
