Defence industrial base recommendations remain partially implemented, with effectiveness and progress difficult to assess.
Conclusion
The defence industrial base has been subject to numerous reviews, plans and strategies, all of which have identified recommendations. However, many of those have only been partially implemented. Whilst the Government appears to be committed to solving some of the most intractable issues, it is too early at this point to judge the progress of these measures let alone their effectiveness. (Conclusion, Paragraph 84)
