Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the forthcoming update to the Integrated Review will include policy changes in (a) defence capability and (b) procurement.

Defence is supporting the Government's update to the Integrated Review. We welcome this opportunity to strengthen our capabilities and prioritise our activities to ensure the UK remains ready to deter adversaries and win the new era of strategic competition.

Taking lessons learned from the last year, we will build resilience and promote prosperity both domestically and across our global partner network.

Any specific policy changes required related to defence capability and procurement will be determined once the update to the Integrated Review has concluded.
