Securing Britain in an Age of Uncertainty: The Strategic Defence and Security Review

Securing Britain in an Age of Uncertainty: The Strategic Defence and Security Review, October 2010

  • “This Strategic Defence and Security Review is long overdue. It is the first time that a UK government has taken decisions on its defence, security, intelligence, resilience, development and foreign affairs capabilities in the round. It sets out the ways and means to deliver the ends set out in the National Security Strategy. It links judgements on where to direct effort and focus the available resources, to choices on which risks and policies to prioritise. It sets a clear target for the national security capabilities the UK will need by 2020, and charts a course for getting there. The challenge is to deliver this while heavily engaged in Afghanistan; with inherited national security budgets in overdraft; and in the midst of the biggest financial crisis in a generation. Restoring a strong economy is critical to sustaining the effectiveness of our national security institutions.”
