Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Prime Minister’s speech to the Lord Mayor’s Banquet on 28 November 2022 and pursuant to the Answer of 9 November 2022 to Question 75791 on Integrated Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy Review, when he plans to publish the refresh of the Integrated Review.

On 21 September 2022, the Government announced its intention to refresh the Integrated Review. This intention was reasserted by the Prime Minister in his speech to Lord Mayor's Banquet on 28 November 2022. This work is being lead by Professor John Bew. We expect this work to be completed ahead of the Treasury's Spring Statement.
