I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 29 June 2020 to Questions 64207 and 64208.

Informed by the Dunne Review and our own refreshed Industrial Policy, the Defence Prosperity Programme announced on 5 March 2019 aims to grow our contribution to the economy, including through sustaining an internationally competitive and productive UK Defence sector.

Activity underway includes a pilot with Invest Northern Ireland on a Defence Technology Exploitation Programme to help SMEs develop stronger links and new routes to market through primes and upper tier companies across the UK.
