This question was answered on 12th September 2023
As set out in DCPR, we are committed to a closer relationship with industry, with the Defence Supplier Forum acting as the primary MOD-industry engagement mechanism for discussion on strategic topics. Whilst the main Defence requirements for steel are sourced by our prime contractors, MOD encourages them to source UK steel for defence projects wherever is it technically and commercially feasible.
