National Security
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 90 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, when plans for home defence were last fully updated.
Answered by Al Carns
The Ministry of Defence routinely plans against a range of potential threats to ensure the UK remains prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any threat, including an armed attack on the UK. While we keep these plans under regular review, we are taking the recommendations of the Strategic Defence Review forward, working closely with the Cabinet Office-led Home Defence Programme.
