Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 37 of his Department's document entitled Defence Investment plan, published 30 June 2026, whether the planned funding in new maritime capabilities of £32 billion between 2030-2035 is already included in his Department's budget.

Funding for investments beyond 2029-30 will be set out as part of future Spending Reviews and subsequent budget-setting processes, in the usual way.
