The Government will continue to work in lockstep with the US and Australia to ensure the long-term success of the AUKUS partnership. The Prime Minister has been unequivocal in his determination to deliver against our AUKUS commitments and will continue to drive sustained UK delivery through a whole-of-government effort.
