Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increases in defence spending on Wales.
This question was answered on 4th March 2026
The increased defence budget will help both grow our economy and our thriving defence sector in Wales.
I was pleased to welcome the Defence Secretary to Cardiff Castle with the First Minister to sign our landmark £50m Wales Defence Growth Deal.
Focused on autonomous defence technology, the deal will help make defence an engine for growth, boosting innovation, SME support and high-skilled jobs in Wales.
