Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the implementation of The Defence Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Action Plan.
The Defence Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Action Plan was published in 2022. It was developed in consultation with the defence SME community and reflects the priorities that they identified.
We are now beginning work on the next iteration of the MOD’s Action Plan and as part of the consultation process we are seeking feedback from SMEs on the implementation of the current plan.
