To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what percentage of raw materials used in the production of equipment for the armed forces are sourced in Britain.
The Government is spending more of a rising defence budget with British companies.
Ministry of Defence (MOD) total direct expenditure with industry was £35.4 billion in 2024-25, of which £31.7 billion was with UK industry. Of the total industry spend, £11.9 billion was on equipment, of which £10.4 billion (87%) was in the UK.
Statistics on MOD expenditure with industry are published annually on the gov.uk website at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mod-regional-expenditure-statistics-with-industry-202425.
The Department does not centrally track the origin of all raw materials used in the production of equipment.

To date, a total of £274 million has been provided to support British Steel’s operations, with £173 million allocated to raw materials, £47 million allocated to payroll, and £22 million allocated towards energy costs. The remaining amount represents various other essential business costs covering operating activities, including capital expenditure and operational expenditure. This will be reflected in the Department for Business and Trade’s accounts for 2025-26.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will exempt imports of in-scope raw materials that are used in the manufacture of military equipment in line with the EU UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will exempt imports of in-scope raw materials that are used in the manufacture of military equipment in line with the EU UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
From 1 January 2027, the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will apply to specific goods imported from the aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, and iron & steel sectors. The specific goods are listed in the Government response to the consultation on the ‘Introduction of a UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism’, which is available at: Consultation on the introduction of a UK carbon border adjustment mechanism - GOV.UK. There are no plans for exemptions from this list.
The UK CBAM is designed to address the risk of carbon leakage and to ensure that CBAM goods which are imported from overseas face a comparable carbon price to what is paid by manufacturers producing the same goods in the UK.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) manufactured components and (b) raw materials imported from China for the domestic production of electric vehicles in the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) manufactured components and (b) raw materials imported from China for the domestic production of electric vehicles in the last five years.
Over the last five years the UK has, on average, annually imported China-origin goods worth a) £1.9bn of components (automotive parts, batteries, and motors) and b) £9.7m of minerals that are typically used for batteries and traction motors. These imports may have been used for non automotive uses. The Department does not have the precise value that went into UK automotive production. This information is commercial and therefore can only be provided by individual companies.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of US tariffs on (a) manufactured components and (b) raw materials for the domestic production of electric vehicles.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of US tariffs on (a) manufactured components and (b) raw materials for the domestic production of electric vehicles.
The Secretary of State and I frequently engage with stakeholders to discuss automotive sector issues, including the potential impacts of US tariffs on manufactured components and raw materials for domestic EV production. On May 8, a landmark economic deal with the US was announced, protecting jobs in key sectors such as automotive. This deal reduces tariffs on UK car exports from 27.5% to 10%, which is positive news for British car manufacturers. We are also providing additional support for the sector; the 2024 Autumn Budget allocated over £2 billion for zero-emission vehicle manufacturing and supply chains.
