Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to increase procurement from UK businesses.

Our new Defence Industrial Strategy will make sure national security and a high-growth economy are aligned to deliver the change we promised: cracking down on waste, building resilient supply chains and boosting Britain's defence industry.

By strengthening our relationship with industry, innovators and investors we will make it easier and more attractive to do business in Defence than ever before.
