Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the security of the UK’s military supply chain.

Secure supply chains are fundamental to produce the capabilities the Ministry of Defence requires to protect our people, territories and values. Defence has faced significant challenges but our supply chains have remained broadly resilient and remain under constant review. We are actively engaged in de-risking critical supply chain vulnerabilities, working collaboratively with industry to mitigate risks and provide assurance.
