To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will update the Defence Strategic Guidance to reflect the Russian annexation of the Crimea.
The 2010 national security strategy and the strategic defence and security review (SDSR) set the top level political direction and guidance for UK Defence. Defence strategic direction (DSD) translates this top level direction into broad priorities for Defence but it does not set specific goals, or relate to specific missions, activities or threats, and it would not be appropriate or practical to update DSD in the face of each individual crisis or threat.
