Defence: Employment
Monday 7th November 2022

Asked by: Caroline Ansell (Conservative - Eastbourne)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support defence jobs in all regions of the UK.

Answered by Alex Chalk

The most recent estimate shows Ministry of Defence investment supports 219,000 jobs in industries across the UK.

Continued high, and focussed, investment in defence, along with the changes we continue to make as part of our Defence and Security Industrial Strategy, will contribute to further economic growth and prosperity, including jobs, across the Union.
