The Secretary of State for Defence has regular discussions with the Cabinet Office colleagues on a range of issues, including national security and resilience.

As outlined in the Strategic Defence Review, Defence has an integral role in the Cabinet Office-led Home Defence Programme. The Ministry of Defence is therefore working closely with the Cabinet Office across all appropriate levels to ensure alignment between civil and military planning for some of the most serious risks we face.
