Defence: Expenditure
Asked by: Melanie Ward (Labour - Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy) Wednesday 22nd April 2026 Question to the Wales Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increases in defence spending on Wales. Answered by Anna McMorrin - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office) This UK Labour Government promised a Defence Growth Deal for Wales and we have delivered on that commitment. Wales is central to the security of the United Kingdom and I’m proud that our Defence Growth Deal, backed by £50 million of UK Government investment, will transform the nation into a centre for innovation, creating highly-skilled jobs and driving growth across the country.
