Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his answers to the House of Lords International Relations and Defence Committee on 1 November 2022, what work his Department is carrying out on supply chain security.
We are working jointly with our suppliers through the Defence Suppliers Forum to understand supply-chain risks and fragility in order to safeguard all critical defence outputs, and work is underway to provide industry with a clear requirement supporting defence priorities.
