Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made for the implications of his policies of the Integrated Review; and if he will make a Statement.

Defence is supporting the Government's refresh of the Integrated Review. We welcome this opportunity to strengthen our capabilities and prioritise our activities to ensure the UK remains ready to deter adversaries and support UK interests in the new era of strategic competition.

Taking lessons learned from the last year, we will build resilience and promote prosperity both domestically and across our global partner network.

Any specific policy changes required for Defence will be determined once the update to the Integrated Review has concluded.
