Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what (a) strategic framework or (b) other protocol his Department has developed for the comprehensive replenishment of arms and material stocks following the Government's provision of support to Ukraine; and what his Department's timeframe for that replenishment is.

Defence keeps weapons stockpile levels and requirements under constant review. These considerations have also informed the numbers of munitions granted in kind to the armed forces of Ukraine.

Delivery schedules for platforms and weapons are under continual review and subject to adjustment in accordance with evolving Defence requirements. We are unable to release any details of current holdings or stockpile requirements for any types of munition for reasons of safeguarding operational security.
