The most recent estimate shows Ministry of Defence investment supports 219,000 jobs in industries across the UK.

Continued high, and focussed, investment in defence, along with the changes we continue to make as part of our Defence and Security Industrial Strategy, will contribute to further economic growth and prosperity, including jobs, across the Union.
