The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 58 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, published on 8 July 2025, what progress he has made in establishing service-agnostic capability portfolios.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Ministry of Defence is introducing service-agnostic capability portfolios to increase flexibility and drive pace in procurement.
Implementation is underway in the National Armaments Director Group. A phased approach to implementation, aligned with wider defence reforms, will enable learning from pathfinder portfolios to inform subsequent roll out and the maturing of the operating model.
