To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to paragraph 8.3 on page 6 of the Defence Suppliers' Forum publication entitled Collaboration Charter, published on 22 November 2023, how many people from each of the companies listed as a signatory of the charter have received security clearance from his Department as of 1 February 2024.

The Ministry of Defence does not hold the information centrally. All industry participants at collaborative events and who will have access to the future collaborative system will have the required security clearances to access that information.
