The number of direct and indirect jobs supported by Ministry of Defence (MOD) expenditure with UK industry in 2022-23 by region can be found in the MOD supported employment estimates 2022/23 report on gov.uk.

This shows MOD expenditure with UK industry in the East Midlands supported 5,500 direct jobs. The MOD does not hold the information in the format required to provide a more specific breakdown.
