The UK’s munition stockpile levels and operational planning assumptions are classified; disclosure of such information could undermine national and operational security. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) works with the Military Commands and industry to regularly review munitions demand, supply resilience and opportunities to increase production capacity. This ensures our munitions planning assumptions remain aligned with the evolving threat environment and lessons identified from recent operations.
As we have set out in the Defence Investment Plan, we are investing in increasing munitions production capacity, including plans for six new energetics and munitions factories and an "always on" production model for some key munitions.

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of increased geological hydrogen production in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of increased geological hydrogen production in the UK.
DESNZ commissioned research from the British Geological Survey to understand the potential for natural hydrogen reserves in the UK. This research was published in 2025 and provides a high level, national scale geological map-based assessment of the UK, identifying areas more and less likely to contain natural hydrogen resources. We are considering further research to build our understanding.
The department is also actively monitoring developments in other countries via our membership of the IEA’s Hydrogen Technology Collaboration Programme. Our teams liaise regularly with academics and experts to make sure the government is well-sighted on emerging technologies, evidence and activities in the UK and internationally.

The Government recognises the significant impact that exceptionally dry conditions have had on many farm businesses. The measures Government has taken will provide practical support to help farmers manage the immediate impact of drought, but will also invest in long term business resilience so that farmers can handle extreme weather better in the future.
Defra is using established channels like SFI to ensure funding has the biggest impact and reach, as many farmers are already using SFI.
The increased funding for SFI (an additional £50m for Window 2, making a total of at least £290m for new agreements available this financial year) will give more farmers affected by low yields and rising costs the chance to access a reliable income stream which will support more drought-resilient, sustainable farming practices.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the vulnerability of UK food production to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, through (a) depleted soils, (b) loss of pollinators, and (c) drought and flood conditions.

The Nature Security Assessment on Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security was published 20 January 2026. It is a cross-government strategic assessment, developed by analysts and subject matter experts across Government. The Assessment was not produced by a single department, it brings together scientific evidence, policy analysis and national security expertise to inform long-term resilience and security planning.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the UK's exposure to a simultaneous collapse of production in two or more global breadbasket regions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the UK's exposure to a simultaneous collapse of production in two or more global breadbasket regions.
In the National security assessment on Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security published earlier this year, it says “collapse of production in two or more breadbasket regions would almost certainly significantly drive up global food prices, potentially limiting the UK’s ability to import food, impacting household food security and restricting diets”.
Defra works with industry and across Government to monitor risks that may arise both domestically and internationally. This includes extensive, regular and ongoing engagement in preparedness for, and response to, issues with the potential to cause disruption.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she is having with [a] water companies and [b] the Environment Agency about maintaining food production during periods of drought.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she is having with [a] water companies and [b] the Environment Agency about maintaining food production during periods of drought.
Ministers engage regularly with both the Environment Agency (EA) and water companies on drought preparedness and response, including through the National Drought Group, to assess drought impacts and coordinate action across sectors, including agriculture. The National Farmers' Union represents the farming sector on the National Drought Group, helping to inform planning, response and resilience measures to protect food production. This engagement informed the Government’s package of support for farmers affected by drought, announced in August.
The EA also works closely with farmers, landowners and their representative bodies to communicate changes to water abstraction and support long-term water resilience. They provide updates through drought briefings, stakeholder forums and the Farming Advice Service. Farmers and landowners are encouraged to talk to local EA teams about abstraction changes, available support and options to improve resilience, including water sharing, on-farm storage and other local solutions.
Water companies also work with affected customers and stakeholders to provide information and advice during periods of drought.

The Government does not hold such data on lameness and culling rates in conventional broiler flocks in England. The government receives data from the Food Standards Agency on Cumulative Daily Mortality Rates (CDMR) for broiler chickens.
The Average Yearly CDMR was 3.57% in 2020, 3.65% in 2021, 3.76% in 2022, 3.53% in 2023, 3.39% in 2024, 3.38% in 2025. The figure for 2023 represents the period of 1 April to 31 December, this is the only Average Yearly CDMR data that the government holds for that year.
The Government is committed to reducing unnecessary use of antibiotics in animals while safeguarding animal welfare. The Veterinary Medicines Regulations prohibit the routine use of antibiotics to compensate for inadequate husbandry, management or biosecurity, and restrict prophylactic antibiotic use to exceptional circumstances only, under veterinary oversight and subject to additional legal requirements. We continue to work closely with the poultry sector to promote high standards of biosecurity, disease prevention and antimicrobial stewardship.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of recent trends in the level of capital investment in the egg production sector, including in the renewal and replacement of poultry housing.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of recent trends in the level of capital investment in the egg production sector, including in the renewal and replacement of poultry housing.
The UK is around 90% self-sufficient in eggs for human consumption and has been for the past ten years, demonstrating clear demand for high quality, domestically produced eggs. We continually monitor domestic production through Defra official statistics and the UK Agricultural Market Monitoring Group as part of ongoing work on domestic food security. In addition, the Poultry Sector Growth Plan is being developed by industry, supported by Government, to identify opportunities to strengthen our national food security whilst balancing broader environmental, animal welfare and trade objectives. The Plan will use sector expertise to create an evidence-based vision for growth and a practical pathway for delivery.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking with supply chains to ensure farmers can continue to produce high-quality food in increasingly unpredictable weather.

The UK has a resilient food supply chain and is equipped to deal with situations with the potential to cause disruption. Defra is closely monitoring the impacts of prolonged dry weather on food security and regularly engages with industry representatives, including the NFU, to monitor any potential impacts to arable crops and commodities.
Farmers across England will receive new support to help manage the impact of prolonged dry weather, including a £65m funding boost, as the Government steps up its response to the ongoing drought.
