The Ministry of Defence considers exportability as part of its investment decisions and capability development process. We have developed an Exportability Policy internally and are working closely with industry to implement our approach. Recent examples of this approach include the Type 31e and the Combat Air Strategy. On 14 March 2019 we announced to Parliament (HCWS1411) a series of measures on Defence Prosperity including on growing exports and inward investment.
