Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will conduct an audit of defence Critical National infrastructure to identify whether they contain Chinese-made components.

The Ministry of Defence regularly reviews its critical supply chains to identify and mitigate risks to defence capability, including defence Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). We utilise the full suite of economic and security tools to manage national security risks to our assets, including the National Security and Investment Act and advice from the National Technical Authorities (NCSC and NPSA) on best practice for CNI security and resilience.
