Defence: Finance
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government why the publication of the Defence Investment Plan has been delayed.
- Answer
-
The department is working to finalise the Defence Investment Plan, which we will publish as soon as we can. We need to ensure investment choices are right for both now and the future. It is the first zero-based review of Defence's budgets in eighteen years and goes significantly further than the last Government's Equipment Plan by looking across every budget line, including people and infrastructure.
