Department for International Trade written question – answered at on 10 October 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment he has made of the decline in defence exports.
Defence export figures fluctuate on a year to year basis given the long term nature of defence acquisition. In the context of an increasingly competitive global market, the UK’s defence exports were £7.7 billion in 2015. Based on past performance, over a five year period, the figures demonstrate that the sector’s core business is strong.
