Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release entitled UK “building the factories of the future” as government launches next phase of new munitions and energetics factories, published on 19 November 2025, whether the 6 new munitions and energetics factories he has committed to build this Parliament will all be built on the proposed 13 potential sites identified.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on 25 November 2025, to Question 93045.

Work is underway to plan the new factories. It is currently premature to provide specific detail, more information will be made available once the necessary preparatory work has been completed.
