UK Border Force: Patrol Craft
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that contracts for Border Force patrol vessels are awarded to UK shipyards.
- Answer
-
We are continuing to engage suppliers on the basis of a UK-led build, using the Defence and Security provisions within the Procurement Act 2023 where appropriate. This approach is consistent with the cross-government commitment to back British businesses. My officials are working closely with the National Shipbuilding Office while ensuring value for money and deliverability.
