The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has a strategy to implement the Strategic Defence Review.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Yes. This Government endorses the Strategic Defence Review’s vision and accepts all 62 recommendations. The implementation of the Review’s recommendations will form part of the main business of the Department and will be executed through a whole of UK Defence effort. We will develop a new Defence Investment Plan to take onboard the Review’s vision and recommendations and turn them into a line-by-line delivery plan.
