House Of Lords Committee Demands Faster Contracts And Stronger Industry
A House of Lords committee has warned that the UK’s defence industry must move faster to prepare for the possibility of war within 1,000 days. The committee’s report highlights the need for clearer long-term demand signals, faster procurement, and more support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The report’s findings were welcomed by ADS, which emphasized the need for a more resilient supply chain and industrial capability to surge and sustain production when needed, as reported by ADS Advance.
