The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 October to Question 79450 on Guided Weapons, which project the £1billion investment to enhance our homeland air and missile defence falls under.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The £1 billion investment in Integrated Air and Missile Defence follows the Strategic Defence Review's recommendation and respond to the threat the UK faces in the Air domain. There is no project name for this investment. Work to deliver the Strategic Defence Review recommendations, including on homeland Integrated Air and Missile Defence, will be prioritised appropriately against the threat as part of the future Integrated Force and set out in the Defence Investment Plan to be published this year.
