Last night, The Rt. Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Alastair King DL, hosted the annual Defence and Security Lecture, welcoming Defence Secretary John Healey.
The City of London Corporation plays a vital role in national resilience – from tackling cyber crime and fraud through its work with the City of London Police, to our support for Armed Forces Cadets, Reservists and Veterans.
A strong defence and a thriving economy go hand in hand. The City Corporation remains committed to driving investment into the industries and innovation that keep the UK secure and competitive.
