Review of Intelligence

Asked if there was going to be an overarching review on intelligence and the structure of counter terrorism machinery, the PMS replied that the journalist was referring to the National Security Strategy, which was something that the Prime Minister said we would be bringing forward. We did have a new National Security Committee, which brought together not only relevant Cabinet Ministers but also the relevant agencies and Chiefs of Defence staff. This committee went beyond discussing foreign policy and defence; it included the issue of hearts and minds, which Hazel Blears and others worked on. We would be bringing forward a National Security Strategy document shortly.
