Guided Weapons
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the risk to UK strategic capability from the global precision weapons of hostile nations.
Answered by Al Carns
The threat from global precision weapons is advancing, proliferating and converging. As a response, the Strategic Defence Review announced an investment of £1 billion to enhance our homeland air and missile defence. This investment will be prioritised appropriately as part of the future Integrated Force. Work to deliver the Strategic Defence Review recommendations, including on all aspects of the Integrated Air and Missile Defence, will be set out in the Defence Investment Plan to be published this year.
