Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the total cost of implementing the Warfighting Ready Plan 2029.

The Royal Navy Warfighting Ready Plan 2029 offers an ambitious and strategic blueprint outlining how the Navy will strengthen and evolve its capabilities over the next four years. The plan is designed to define our strategic priorities while delivering significant transformation. This iterative and agile approach enables the Royal Navy to focus on what matters most – acting decisively where it counts, responding to threat with the urgency it demands and learning rapidly, adjusting based on the resources available. The specific financial costs will therefore be subject to capability decisions and resource choices as directed within the Defence Investment Plan.
