Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of expenditure on defence procurement contracts was placed with small and medium-sized enterprises based in (a) Scotland and (b) the UK in the last two years for which figures are available.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has published details of expenditure with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on gov.uk: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mod-contracting-with-smes-financial-year-20132014.

The MOD no longer conducts a full analysis of expenditure by geographic location of the UK.
