Defence Reform Review

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department completed the review of the Levene Framework set as a condition by HM Treasury in the Spring 2023 Settlement Letter.

Answer

To meet a condition set by His Majesty's Treasury in the Spring 2023 Settlement Letter, we are undertaking a complete review of how we work as a Department, seeking to ensure we are a coherent system. 'Defence Design' is a top-down initiative seeking to develop the most efficient and effective way for Defence to operate and successfully achieve our outcomes in an ever more volatile world.

The work started in Spring 2023 and is anticipated to last between 18 and 24 months.
