Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release entitled UK defence industry steps up support for Gulf partners facing Iranian attacks, published on 18 March 2026, how much will be spent on the purchase of Lightweight Multirole Missiles.

As announced, the UK intends to buy further Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMM), to supply British forces and support partners in the Gulf region.

The Ministry of Defence is currently confirming price information with Industry. It is expected that a portion of the costs of purchase will fall to the UK, and a portion will fall to Gulf partner nations.
