00:00In a world we now face, defence can no longer be separated from economic policy.
00:05The technologies that will decide our security are also the technologies that will shape the future economy.
00:11A vibrant tech sector is now defence capability.
00:16And in defence investment, if done well, we can see a driver of industrial innovation in return for our investment.
00:25That's why the government can't afford to misfire on the defence investment plan.
00:30There are three things that need to be done and in very short order.
00:34First, make sure the plan is fit for the future, ready to prevent the next war, not fight the last
00:41one.
00:42Second, make sure it's funded adequately.
00:46And third, match that investment to modernisation.
