Hybrid Warfare
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to help deter grey zone activity.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Following the Strategic Defence Review, Defence is focusing on transformation into an organisation ready for warfighting.
This includes a renewed emphasis on home defence and resilience to grey zone threats to ensure effective deterrence. We will protect the UK from threats that undermine our sovereignty.
There are also efforts on possessing military capabilities in sufficient quantities, and signalling a willingness to use those to either deny or to punish those undertaking or authorising grey zone attacks.
