Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, in view of the war in Ukraine, whether they have re-assessed the gap in Royal Navy surface to surface missile capability.
We continue to scope options for the Royal Navy's next surface to surface guided weapon system, alongside wider lethality requirements, to allow us to deliver on the commitments outlined in the Integrated Review. No final decisions have yet been made. This position has not altered as a result of the war in Ukraine.
