Question to the Ministry of Defence:
When he plans to publish the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy; and if he will make a statement.
My right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, expects to be able to publish the Review’s conclusions in the spring.
In relation to the Defence elements of the Review in particular, I can tell the House that I intend to set out further details of our plans in the weeks after the Integrated Review’s publication.
