National Security Strategy

Asked what the National Security Strategy would cover, the PMS said that the broad context was that the international security situation was changing; the nature of the security threat we were facing was quite different from what it was 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. The Government’s response needed to change to reflect that and what we would be doing in the National Security Strategy would be to set out in a coherent way, how all of the various agencies and departments of Government were working collectively to deal with the new challenges we faced.

Asked who led the discussions on the subject in Cabinet, the PMS replied that David Miliband, Jacqui Smith and Des Browne led the discussion.
