Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the current munitions stockpile level is lower than that as of 1 January 2024; and if so, what is the timescale for the replenishment of munitions stockpiles to that level.

Details regarding Defence's munitions stockpile are classified, and it would therefore be inappropriate to provide further commentary.

As part of our commitment under the Strategic Defence Review, we committed £1.5 billion through the Strategic Defence Review to transitioning production of key munitions to an "always on" model and are progressing plans to establish six new munitions and energetics factories in the UK, taking our total munitions spend this parliament to £6 billion. The Ministry of Defence continues to work closely with industry, allies, and partners to ensure that munitions stockpiles remain sufficient to meet the demands of current and future operations.
