Mr Brown addressed the Labour Party conference in September Former PM Gordon Brown will make his first speech in the Commons since April on Monday – in a bid to save shipyard jobs near his constituency.
He is due to speak on a Labour MP’s motion examining options for the maintenance of the two aircraft carriers spared by the defence review.
There are concerns 50-year maintenance contracts on HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales could go to France.
Mr Brown will argue they should stay in Rosyth, which borders his constituency.
The Kircaldy and Cowdenbeath MP has not addressed the Commons since before Labour’s general election defeat – prompting some swipes from the Conservatives.
He has been working on a book about the financial crisis and did make a speech at the Labour Party conference, as his successor was unveiled.
The £5.4bn aircraft carriers deal has proved controversial. The government says it could not cancel one of the carriers, as it made cuts to spending, because it would have cost more than going ahead with both.
Mr Brown’s spokeswoman confirmed he was due to speak on Thomas Docherty’s motion on Monday night.
Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said the former PM should apologise for the aircraft carriers deal: “His appearance in this debate shows that his decision to order the aircraft carriers was always about protecting his own interests rather than the national interest.”
But the former head of the armed forces, Sir Jock Stirrup, told the BBC on Sunday the aircraft carriers deal had been done for “entirely sensible” reasons – to persuade the UK’s shipbuilding industry to scale down and invest in rationalisation.
