Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend significantly to increase production of 155mm howitzer shells to assist Ukraine; and if so, what steps they are taking to do so.
The Department is considering options to increase 155mm ammunition production, in response to emerging lessons from the conflict in Ukraine as well as the prior granting-in-kind of a proportion of the UK stockpile to Ukraine. No decision has been taken on whether to allocate any of this production increase to Ukraine.
