Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consultations with Parliament and civil society have been arranged as a part of the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review.

Work has begun on the 2015 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review, and these will report by the end of the year. As part of this work, we will engage with a range of stakeholders, including Parliament, academics, industry, think tanks and non-governmental organisations.

Members of the public will have the opportunity to contribute thoughts via a dedicated page on gov.uk. Comments submitted will be considered as part of the wider SDSR and NSS processes and this page is due to go live in the next few weeks.
