(asked on 1st July 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Strategic Defence Review 2025, whether he plans to locate a munitions factory in Northern Ireland.
This question was answered on 10th July 2025
The Strategic Defence Review committed £1.5 billion investment for an "always on" pipeline for munitions and to build at least six new energetics and munitions factories in the UK. Feasibility studies are already underway to explore potential manufacturing sites across all four nations. Accordingly, the Ministry of Defence will work closely with cross-Government partners to identify locations for manufacturing sites.
