Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to publish its response to the Modernising Defence Programme consultation before it publishes the Modernising Defence Programme; and if he will make a statement.
We are on track to share headline conclusions from the Modernising Defence Programme in time for the NATO Summit in July. We are carefully considering the responses to the public consultation and we intend to share our response in the coming months.
