I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for The Wrekin (Mark Pritchard) for calling this debate. He is an assiduous constituency MP who knows about the threats and capabilities, and that so many deterrents can be produced in Shropshire. My hon. Friend referred to Boxer vehicles and ventilator challenge work in his constituency. Over the past seven months, more than 3.8 million items were handled by the defence supply chain with over 20,000 ventilators passing through Donnington. The team at Donnington has also processed 1.5 million requests and provided maintenance for military vehicles. RAF Shawbury and Cosford provide training to personnel and graduates around 2,000 aircraft engineers yearly. In 2018-19, £583 million was spent in the west midlands sustaining over 4,300 jobs. The recent award of a contract worth £860 million for more than 260 Boxer vehicles at Telford will provide work and training opportunities to over 60 apprentices over five years. We aim to target 25% of our procurement spend with SMEs by 2022, which accounted for over 19% in 2018-19 representing £3.9 billion. The four-year settlement announced provides an extra £24 billion, including at least £6.6 billion for R&D, to modernise and compete effectively on the digitised battlefield.
