▤ Verbatim text from source document

The DIS recognised that we have seen offsets work effectively to achieve secondary benefits from defence procurement spend in other countries.

It also recognised there are both benefits and risks to an offset regime and that this policy must be explored and developed in partnership with the defence sector.

The Ministry of Defence is launching a consultation to seek expert views to further inform development of a possible UK offset policy.
