<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not hold a central record of the origin of all
steel used in defence equipment projects. This is because steel for our major programmes
is mainly sourced by our prime contractors and the supply chains are complex.</p><p>The
MOD does, however, collate some information about the origin of steel for projects
with the largest steel requirements. This information is published annually on gov.uk
at the following link:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/steel-public-procurement</p><p>The
data was last published in January 2019, with the next iteration due to be published
shortly.</p>
