The Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) most recent estimate, based on MOD expenditure data in conjunction with data from the Office of National Statistics, shows over 200,000 jobs across the UK are supported as either a direct or indirect result of MOD expenditure with UK industry and commerce.

Continued high and focussed investment into defence, together with the changes we are making as part of the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy, will contribute to further economic growth and prosperity, including jobs, across the Union.
