Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department plans to make available to Parliament through life capability road maps, referred to on p18 of the Land Industrial Strategy.

As described in the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS), the government is committed to publishing clear statements of our national security needs, plans, and technology priorities.

The Land Industrial Strategy (LIS) provides the first iteration of our Land investment plan over the next decade and we intend to expand this to offer a longer term view that includes the mission system upgrades required to keep our equipment contemporary. As the Department implements the new LIS, it also intends to develop more detailed through life plans that will indicate the level of upkeep required, the updates necessary to attend to obsolescence, and the upgrades required to address the threats we face.

Publication will be dependent upon the security classification of the final product.
