Norway: Type 26 Frigates
Asked by: Sam Rushworth (Labour - Bishop Auckland) Monday 13th October 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of Norway’s decision to purchase Type 26 frigates from BAE Systems on levels of supply chain opportunities for businesses in the North East. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) I refer the hon. Members to the answer given by my noble Friend, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Defence (Lord Coaker), on 16 September 2025 to Question number HL10176 in the House of Lords.
The Norwegian Government’s announcement on 31 August 2025, that it had selected the UK as a strategic partner for their acquisition of Type 26 warships, will sustain around 4,000 jobs across the UK’s supply chain until well into the 2030s.
This is the largest ever UK warship export deal by value and it is expected to provide a £10 billion boost to the UK economy and support more than 400 British companies across all regions, including the north east of England. It is a huge vote of confidence in the UK’s defence industry and supply chains, which are supported by small and medium enterprises. |

Future of UK aid and development assistance International Development Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions A new inquiry into the future of the UK’s international aid and development assistance programmes has been launched by the International Development Committee. It will examine how the UK can continue to deliver high impact international aid and development assistance in the face of a 40% budget cut as the Government seeks to fund increased defence spending in the name of national security. Based on the most recent forecast for GNI, the cut in ODA from 0.5% to 0.3% of GNI would mean that the aid budget in 2027 would be around £9.2 billion, compared to £15.4 billion if ODA was kept at 0.5%. Based on these estimates, the 0.3% target would provide about £6.1 billion less ODA than the 0.5% target. The US has historically been by far the world’s largest aid donor in absolute terms, providing around 20% of all aid by OECD DAC Members each year. In February, the State Department said that USAID programmes to the value of $54 billion will be ended and $4.4 billion of programmes from the US State Department. In March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that 82% of all USAID programmes would be ended (around 5,200 of the 6,200 programmes). Germany and France have also announced a cut to their ODA. The reduction to 0.3% of GNI allocated to development assistance, to fund an increase in defence and security spending, and drastic reduction of aid provided by the UK’s partners, mark an inflection point for the Government – one the Committee wishes to investigate and to add its voice.
