<p>The Ministry of Defence is actively involved in cross-government work on industrial strategy. We do not plan a separate defence industrial strategy. However, we are developing a National Shipbuilding Strategy, which will be informed by Sir John Parker's independent report, and we are making a significant long-term investment in the UK's defence nuclear enterprise. There are no plans for further sector strategies, but we will keep this position under review, noting that we already have a substantial amount of work under way to encourage the growth and competiveness of UK industry, including as part of the commitment in the Strategic Defence and Security Review to refresh defence industrial policy.</p> |
