Labour — York Outer

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 June 2025

Debate

UK Modern Industrial Strategy

Contribution

My hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Alex Baker) and I have published a report highlighting the persistent scale-up gap for defence SMEs. I welcome the increase in funds for NSSIF—the national security strategic investment fund—but red tape is holding back investment in British single-use military technology, so will my right hon. Friend look at clearing up some of that red tape in order to supercharge investment in British defence SMEs?
