A committee in the United Kingdom has found problems in the delivery of the AUKUS submarine deal.
The report says the government should work with Australia and the United States to fix the issues, which could make delivery more difficult.
AUKUS will see Australia get nuclear-powered submarines from the UK and US, as well as closer co-operation on new defence technology.
The report suggests a type of AUKUS visa to address workforce problems.

Police are still searching for a missing five-year-old girl in the Northern Territory.
Emergency services are searching by helicopter, with crews also working on the ground.
Police Sergeant Matt Hall says so far, there is no trace of Sharon, who was last seen early on Sunday morning.
"The challenge is the vastness of the area, the terrain as you can see when you look around it is quite dense bushland at some points. We are crossing between open vegetation to closed vegetation and some of our search area is shoulder to shoulder."
Police are looking for a 47-year-old man, who they suspect abducted the child.

The Coalition says they would more than double Australia's fuel stocks.
They propose speeding up $800 million in funding to deliver extra fuel storage, with a focus on diesel.
Opposition leader Angus Taylor says Australia needs more stock, warning the country is vulnerable to supply shocks.
Mr Taylor says the policy would serve as a national safeguard and is asking the government to act now.
"This is about making sure we have an insurance policy as a country against fuel security crises like we are facing right now. Now, sadly, under this government, there hasn't been that same level of ambition. But the government can do this tomorrow. It can commit to this tomorrow, we're asking them to work with us to get the MSO doubled, the stock holding obligation doubled, and get to that ambition of 90 days of IAEA stocks."

A man will face court tomorrow after allegedly hitting an e-bike rider in a road rage incident in Sydney.
Emergency services were called to the area after a driver allegedly made a rude gesture towards a group of teenage riders, leading to a fight with a 15-year-old boy.
Police say the man threw a water bottle before the boy followed and blocked the vehicle.
The driver then allegedly accelerated into the teen, knocking him from his e-bike, before leaving and ignoring directions from off-duty officers to stop.
The boy was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries, with the man arrested and charged soon after.

To sport and in AFL news,
Football administrator Greg Swann says the league has received a report from Carlton on the health of Elijah Hollands, but won't rush to review it.
Carlton reported to the AFL after Hollands' on-field problems during their April 16 loss to Collingwood, which Carlton said involved mental health problems.
Questions have been asked about why the player was allowed to play and stay on for a significant part of the match.
Greg Swann says the AFL's response will take some time because the issue is sensitive.
