Defence Secretary John Healey told the Commons the government accepts all 62 recommendations of the Strategic Defence Review, including up to 12 SSN-AUKUS attack submarines, six new munitions factories and up to 7,000 long-range weapons.

Meeting at the US Embassy in Singapore during the Shangri-La Dialogue, Richard Marles, Pete Hegseth and John Healey said the submarine pillar was on track, backed a plan for Australia to buy three in-service Virginia-class boats, and launched a joint uncrewed-undersea-vehicle payload project.
