Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what date is the Prime Minister’s Special Representative on AUKUS scheduled to end.

Sir Stephen Lovegrove was appointed as the Prime Minister’s Special Representative on AUKUS in April 2025. This appointment was made on an initial 12 month basis and has been extended for an additional year. Sir Stephen will continue to drive forward the Prime Minister’s commitment to delivering against our AUKUS commitments, recognising AUKUS as a strategic partnership which is fundamental to the UK’s NATO-first approach and to Trans-Atlantic burden-sharing. The government will keep the duration of the appointment under review, in line with the terms of the appointment.
