Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment to confirm that Elbit Systems UK does not produce, transfer, or stockpile cluster munitions within the UK.

In line with Public Procurement Regulations, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) conducts due diligence checks on its contractors. These include verification of a supplier's financial stability, operational capabilities, and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, the United Kingdom is a signatory to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (‘The Oslo Convention’) which comprehensively prohibits all use, production, transfer, and stockpiling of cluster munitions. The Department has no contracts with Elbit Systems UK for Cluster Munitions.
