Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, by what criteria will the success of the new National Armaments Director be assessed.

The performance of the National Armaments Director (NAD) will be assessed against a set of objectives which will be agreed and measured through appropriate governance. These objectives will align with their accountability to Parliament, with the intent set out in the Strategic Defence Review and Defence Industrial Strategy, and the NAD Group’s organisational performance.
