To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Defence Equipment and Support's article entitled DE&S places new order with BAE Systems to increase 155mm shells stockpile for British Army, published on 11 July 2023, when his Department expects to achieve an eight-fold increase in 155mm ammunition production.
