Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress he has made on quantum technologies in the AUKUS partnership.

At the recent AUKUS Defence Ministerial Meeting in December 2023, AUKUS partners agreed to accelerate the development of quantum technologies for positioning, navigation, and timing in military capabilities. These capabilities will enhance our force resilience in GPS-degraded environments and enhance stealth in the undersea domain.
