Ministry of Defence: Departmental Responsibilities

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 2 August 2024UIN 1724

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost of establishing a Military Strategic Headquarters within his Department.

Answered by Luke Pollard

To align with the Government's vision for reform in Defence, and the Secretary of State's priority to strengthen leadership through overhauling the Defence Operating Model, we are developing options for establishing a Military Strategic Headquarters, a stronger Department of State, and the role of the National Armaments Director. Further detail will be made available in due course.
