In assessing the future of the Defence Industry, Tony Edwards here provides an overall context for the possible creation of a Ministry for the Defence Industries (MDI). He identifies three major areas which he asserts have to be satisfied if the Industry is to function efficiently—the establishment of a dear policy framework, and a realistic view of both the economics of defence and of the foreign/'security policies relating to it. He discusses possible difficulties and potential benefits of an MDI, calling for a back to basics look at the defence industry with Government and Industry working in partnership towards a common goal—the effective defence of the country.
