Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential contribution of the Golden Valley Development to delivering the Defence Investment Plan’s objectives for the cyber domain.

The Defence Investment Plan underlines the importance of strengthening the UK's cyber capabilities, supporting innovation and fostering collaboration between Government, industry, and academia. The Golden Valley Development has the potential to contribute to these objectives through the creation of a cyber and technology ecosystem. The MOD continues to engage with key partners to understand how such developments can support the delivery of defence and national security objectives. Detailed assessments of individual projects are kept under review as part of the Department's ongoing strategic planning cycles.
