House of Commons and House of Lords Hansard Written Answers

Asked by Lord West of Spithead
Asked on: 17 September 2015
Ministry of Defence
HL2377
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their response to the House of Commons Defence Committee’s conclusion in its report Decision-making in Defence Policy that the Chiefs of Staff should be constituted as the Military Sub-Committee of the National Security Council.

Answered by: Earl Howe
Answered on: 28 September 2015
The Government has made clear in its September response to the House of Commons Defence Committee that we believe the current structure to be sufficient. The Chief of the Defence Staff attends the National Security Council with the remit to present the views of all three Services collectively. The Chiefs of Staff Committee is already the UK’s senior military committee and feeds into the Chief of Defence Staff’s preparation for National Security Council meetings.
