Defence Review

Asked for some broad themes the Prime Minister would touch on in his statement tomorrow, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that we had published a National Security Strategy (NSS) today and the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) would be published tomorrow.

Asked why the Prime Minister was giving the statement and not the Defence Secretary, the PMS said that this had been conducted through the National Security Council (NSC) which the Prime Minister chaired and also because it was a Security review as well as a Defence review.
