Question
What steps are being taken to ensure that the projected capabilities of the armed forces over the next 10 years are adequate to meet future expected threats? Will the current deployment in supporting civil power influence the integrated review and change defence planning assumptions?
Answer from Jeremy Quin (Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence) (Con)
The Ministry has rigorous processes to test its capabilities against evolving threats. Lessons from the current deployment will be picked up by the integrated review, including regional cooperation and the value of reserves with specialist skills and agility.
