Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to update the Defence and Security Industrial Strategy 2021, published on 23 March 2021.
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.
The DSIS has been reviewed alongside the Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper refresh and the Defence Command Paper will outline further how the Government will deliver DSIS.
