The future size and budget of each of the three Services will be reviewed as part of the next Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) and the next Spending Review, currently expected to take place in 2015. All three Services are focused on delivering the Future Force 2020 vision set out in the last SDSR, published in 2010. The Chiefs of Staff will be closely involved in any strategic decision which concerns both their Service and Defence more broadly. The Department also conducts an annual financial planning cycle (known as the Annual Budgeting Cycle) to ensure that plans remain aligned with budgets; the Chiefs of Staff are an integral part of this activity.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/88", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sevenoaks"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Michael Fallon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-06T15:25:30.5423347Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Armed Forces"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what work his Department is currently undertaking in relation to the future (a) size and (b) budget of each service; and with which of those studies the relevant Chief of Staff is involved.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/116", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Soames of Fletching"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Sussex"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Nicholas Soames"} ], "uin" : "208834"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91400", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91400/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

However we are taking steps to strengthen manufacturing capability across the UK. These include support for innovation and technology commercialisation through the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, help for businesses seeking to tap into opportunities in foreign markets, and in January 2014, Reshore UK was set up to assist UK manufacturers looking to win back production and jobs from overseas.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> We are taking action to increase manufacturing investment. In the 2014 Budget, my Rt Hon Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer doubled the annual investment allowance to £500,000 until the end of 2015. 100% first year capital allowances in enterprise zones will also be extended for three years to 31 March 2020.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> We are also helping energy intensive industries by compensating them for indirect costs of the carbon price floor and EU ETS extending beyond 2015-16. EIIs will also be compensated for the Renewable Obligation and Feed In Tariffs from 2016-17.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
