Question

John Healey

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many times have urgent capability requirements been used since 24 February 2022 in relation to support sent to Ukraine and restocking British Armed Forces.

Answer

James Cartlidge

Rather than the urgent capability requirements (UCR) process, Defence has established a bespoke team to manage the procurement or granting-in-kind of equipment to Ukraine. For the restocking of equipment granted-in-kind from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) inventory a bespoke approach is used according to the nature of the equipment and the MOD's replenishment priorities. The UCR process remains in place for other operations worldwide.
