Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 6 June 2025 to Question 56305 on the Strategic Defence Review, if he will publish the names of people offered access to the Strategic Defence Review before 5pm on 2 June 2025; and when that access was for each person.

For the launch of the Strategic Defence Review, the Government offered embargoed briefings to our people and senior defence leaders, plus certain Parliamentarians, trade unions, businesses, allies and media. This was broadly consistent with the approach for previous defence reviews.
