Defence: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Defence Investment Plan will be a ten year plan from the 2025-26 financial year.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Defence Investment Plan (DIP) is the next step in turning the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) into action. It is a 10-year plan, and the first zero-based review of Defence’s budgets in eighteen years and goes significantly further than the last Government’s Equipment Plan by looking across every budget line, including people and infrastructure.
