The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with the Welsh Government on the Strategic Defence Review.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Welsh Government was invited to respond to the public consultation through a letter from Lord Robertson. I have also held a call with the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales to brief the Welsh Government on the content of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) and its significance for Wales. We will continue engagement with Welsh Government Colleagues on a range of Ministry of Defence matters including the SDR.
