Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the defence industry.
It is inevitable that the Covid-19 pandemic will have some impact on the defence industry and we remain closely engaged with our strategic suppliers during this difficult time to understand this in more detail. We will continue to provide support, where appropriate, to ensure that critical defence operations and programmes, on which our nation relies, continue uninterrupted.
