Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
When he launched the Review, the Prime Minister was clear that it should be as open and transparent as possible. Throughout the Review, officials across departments have met with former Ministers, senior national security officials as well as former defence officials, all with experience of previous Reviews. This engagement has and will continue for the duration of the Review. The Government has sought input from our most important allies and partners, including the defence industry, and is also taking views from civil society stakeholders including think tanks and academia. The exact mechanisms for this engagement vary between stakeholders.
