	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2024 answer text <p>The Future Force Design Review is being led by the Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Military Capability). It will consider how the UK will warfight in the future, what this means for how we structure our armed forces and the capabilities we need, all within a NATO context. It is a pan-Defence review drawing from existing evidence, concepts and operational lessons, including insights from Ukraine, with the objective of presenting choices to inform the next integrated review. Given the classification of the work, the department does not intend to publish the recommendations of the review but instead the output will be included in future strategic review documents and our investment plans. We have committed to engage with the House of Commons Defence Committee as this work matures.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 18/04/2024 16:11:39 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
