<p>The National Security Council (NSC) has agreed the high-level findings of the National
Security Capability Review (NSCR). Ministers have agreed that we should finalise the
NSCR with a view to publishing a report in late spring.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
NSCR considered threats and opportunities facing the UK. It integrates domestic, international
and online security to tackle the increasingly interrelated and complex threats we
face. It identified how we can use our national security capabilities more effectively
and efficiently to achieve our three national security objectives: Protect our people;
Project our global influence; and Promote our prosperity.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
conclusions of the NSCR will be published in late spring. Defence played its full
part in the review. As a result of high-level findings from the NSCR, the NSC commissioned
a programme of work to modernise defence building on the National Security Strategy
and the SDSR15. The aim of the Modernising Defence Programme (MDP) is to make sure
that defence is sustainable and affordable and is configured to address the threats
we face. The MDP will report to the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Defence Secretary.</p><p>
