Consultation 2: MOD consultation on the Defence and Security Directive update Issue: The MOD is in the process of transposing the Defence and Security Directive and is on track to meet the deadline to incorporate the regulations in UK law by 21 August 2011. Most of the policy outcomes have now been decided as a result of the first consultation. The second consultation offers the opportunity to respond to questions regarding the implementation of the new directive.
