Question
The work on the review has been paused during this pandemic. Will my right hon Friend assure me that when it resumes, he will continue to ensure that we frame our thinking around threat at every stage of the review?
Answer from The Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace
My hon Friend is right—but the review was slowed down, not entirely paused, during the covid pandemic. We did continue to work on it in the Ministry of Defence. Last week I gathered the chiefs of all the services and the head of defence intelligence together to hear about the threat and the doctrine of our adversaries, and about how the chiefs are going to deliver a solution to that threat.
