Strategic Defence Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 July to Question 189 on Defence, what steps he is taking to consult widely with (a) serving personnel and (b) veterans.
Answered by Al Carns
The Strategic Defence Review is considering all aspects of Defence, involving - and receiving inputs from - other Government Departments, agencies and industry, in areas where they support UK Defence. It is to be Britain's review-not just the Government's-so the reviewers consulted serving military, veterans, MPs of all parties, industry, and academia, to support their analysis throughout the review and challenge process.
