All Party Group on Sovereign Defence Manufacturing Capability

A group to facilitate a continuing discussion on how the UK can sustain a sovereign defence manufacturing capability.

About the Group

With the ongoing Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy, and the £16.5 billion increase in defence spending announced in November, it’s vital that parliamentarians have a forum to hear about the potential strategic advantages of developing and growing our sovereign defence manufacturing base.

This APPG will allow colleagues to hear from distinguished industry figures, people with experience on the front line and others to discuss and debate the sector and how it can be best supported in the months and years ahead.

Our Next Meeting

Summer Recess

The Group has completed its series of meetings in this Parliamentary term.

Meetings will resume following the summer recess, and details will be published here in advance.

If you are a parliamentarian and would like to register your interest, please get in touch.
