Asked by: Lord Spellar (Labour - Life peer) Monday 19th January 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of British manufacturing content Rolls Royce committed to in their submission for the contract for small modular reactors.

Defence: Industry
Asked by: Lord Spellar (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 27th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the security risk and the impact on the resilience of the defence industry of the construction of vessels in China or Vietnam for the Defence Maritime Next Generation Service program. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The construction locations of vessels being procured as part of the Defence Marine Services Next Generation In-Port Services contract do not present a risk to the security of the United Kingdom. Future maintenance of the vessels will take place in the UK.
The Government is stepping up its support for sovereign shipbuilding capabilities. The Procurement Act 2023 provides greater scope to strengthen supply chain visibility and drive social value. All options in and around this legislation are being explored to support the UK shipbuilding industry. In addition, the forthcoming Shipbuilding and Maritime Technology Action Plan will describe the new approach to oversight of ship and boatbuilding programmes across the strategic breadth of Government procurement.

Military Aircraft: Manufacturing
Asked by: Lord Spellar (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 29th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to maintain combat aircraft manufacturing and assembly capacity in the UK. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) The Defence Industrial Strategy recognises combat air as a priority national security sub-sector, requiring a degree of autonomy in the UK. The Defence Industrial Strategy underlines this government's commitment to maintaining sovereign capabilities across the Defence enterprise. The United Kingdom already has a world-class combat air production and manufacturing ecosystem, supported through large-scale international partnerships as well as targeted domestic investment. Steps taken to maintain this capacity include the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), supporting export campaigns of Typhoon aircraft, upgrading our own combat aircraft, and continuing our investment in the global F-35 programme. |
