Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the press release entitled New Storm Shadow and missile cooperation to boost jobs as UK and France reboot defence relationship, published on 9 July 2025, how many additional Storm Shadow cruise missiles will be (a) ordered and (b) reconditioned in (i) this and (ii) the next Parliament.

The MOD does not routinely provide details of stockpiles for security reasons. Through a combination of continued refurbishment and new production the available stockpiles will be increasing in this Parliament. Production in the next parliament is expected to include new build of the replacement Future Cruise / Anti-Ship Weapon.
