Ann Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will undertake an independent threat assessment study in the context of the Strategic Defence Review. [7261]

Dr. Reid

The Strategic Defence Review draws on assessments of risks and challenges from a variety of sources, both inside and outside Government. We are therefore measuring Our classified assessments against a range of independent outside views.
