National Security Strategy and the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 inquiry

Inquiry

The Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy launched an inquiry examining the National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 (NSS & SDSR 2015).

The inquiry considered several areas including:

  • whether the NSS & SDSR 2015 is a practical guide to investment choices across Government Departments, to operational priorities and to crisis response,
  • how the NSS & SDSR 2015 addresses risk and contingency planning, and
  • whether the NSS & SDSR 2015 defines "national security" in sufficiently broad terms and achieves an appropriate balance between military, economic and environmental risks.
