Defence: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his proposed timetable is for publishing the Defence Investment Plan.
Answered by Luke Pollard
As the Defence Secretary has outlined to the hon. Gentleman a number of times, we will publish it as soon as we can, but our aim is to ensure decisions in the Defence Investment Plan (DIP) are robust and support the development of both current and future capabilities, helping to drive the transformation of our Armed Forces described in the Strategic Defence Review.
The DIP will end the hollowing out and underfunding of our Armed Forces that we inherited.
