HL Deb 20 July 2004 vol 664 c26WA
Lord Ahmed

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Ministry of Defence has embarked on a 30-year analysis of security for this country focusing on the seven dimensions of the security environment: physical, socio-cultural, political, scientific and technical, economic, military, legal and moral and ethical. [HL3746]

Lord Bach

Strategic Trends is the Ministry of Defence's on-going programme that analyses trends in the future global environment 30 years ahead in seven dimensions—physical, social, science and technology, economic, legal, political and military. The first Strategic Trends report was launched by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Defence in March 2003, and can be viewed onwww.jdccstrategictrends.org.
