Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what information his Department holds on UK based companies that have been found to be supplying components for Russian weapons programmes since February 2022.

We are aware of reports of UK manufactured components being found in Russian weapon systems. The Government have taken steps to impose the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, to maximise the impact on Russia's campaign in Ukraine and cut off funding for Putin's war machine, which includes prohibition of the export, supply and delivery and making available of restricted goods, software and technology and the provision of certain services related to the export or supply of these products. Should we become aware of potential breaches of UK export controls, we refer these cases to departments with enforcement powers.
