Defence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to publish an updated Defence and Security Industrial Strategy after publication of the refresh of the Integrated Review and an updated Defence Command Paper.

Answer

Events since the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS) was published and the UK's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine have reinforced the key themes of the DSIS - the need to consider industry as a capability in its own right, and closer and earlier dialogue with industry.

We will review the DSIS alongside the Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper refresh and will decide as part of that process whether a new publication is warranted.
