Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 34 of the Defence Investment Plan, published on 30 June 2026, what funding is allocated to defence artificial intelligence between 2030 and 2035.

The Defence Investment Plan does not identify specific funding allocation for Defence Artificial Intelligence (AI) between 2030 and 2035.

The Plan states that Defence will continue to invest in specialist AI talent and develop the Defence AI Centre as Defence’s enduring centre for AI delivery.

It also notes that Defence’s investment in AI extends beyond dedicated AI programmes. AI is increasingly embedded across a range of transformative programmes throughout the Integrated Force, and these will be cohered through the new Defence Strategic Approach to AI.
