Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q111 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what the programme of project review meetings led by non-executive directors at Defence Equipment and Support covers.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

The Programme Review Committee (PRC) reviews the status, progress and management of critical programmes relating to the effective delivery of the Equipment Programme (EP) by DE&S. It focuses on areas that contribute to project performance and monitors initiatives designed to improve delivery. It monitors and reviews Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) programmes and provides direction and guidance on how to conduct further assurance reviews where particular concerns arise. The PRC also provides early strategic advice to new programmes and advises on programme delivery improvement activities.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q122 of the oral evidence by David Williams to the Committee of Public Accounts on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what support senior responsible owners are receiving from (a) programme directors and (b) Defence Equipment and Support.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

The Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) is supported by a Programme Director who is accountable to the SRO. The Programme Director has delegated responsibility for the day-to-day management of the programme to deliver the desired outcomes and outputs and realise the required benefits, within agreed time, cost and quality constraints. This includes establishing the programme governance framework and ensuring the team is resourced with suitably qualified and experienced people throughout the programme lifecycle.

As one of MOD's Enabling Organisations, Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) provides delivery services to SROs for equipment procurement and through life support related matters. DE&S Delivery Teams act as the Contracting Authority with Industry to deliver the SRO's programme, providing expertise in many fields including Engineering, Safety, Project Management, Commercial, Finance and In-Service Support.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q123 of the oral evidence by David Williams to the Committee of Public Accounts on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what the length is of the contract his Department has agreed with Serco.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

The Department is constrained in its ability to discuss contracts in depth due to the inherent commercial sensitivity, however, we can confirm that we do have a contract with Serco for "The Provision of Aircraft Engineering Support and Airfield Services at Royal Naval Air Stations (RNAS) Yeovilton and Culdrose". This was awarded on 1 July 2020 and is due to expire on 31 March 2026.

This is the only contract the Department holds with Serco, although Serco also seconds employees to work with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary to obtain specialist skills where there is a business need to do so. This is not governed by a contract.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q111 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, how many Government Major Projects Portfolio review meetings took place in 2023.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

A Portfolio Review of all Defence programmes contained within the Government Major Projects Portfolio is held at the end of each financial quarter. As such there were four whole of portfolio reviews in 2023. I chaired the Portfolio Review for the first time in November 2023 (quarter 2 of financial year 2023-24) and I expect to chair the quarter 3 review later this month. Such reviews are in addition to routine individual programme reviews, and assurance reviews undertaken by the Infrastructure and Projects Authority and the Department's Defence Major Programmes Portfolio Sponsor Group.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q84 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what the other key features of the new procurement model are.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

We set out our approach to acquisition reform in the Defence Command Paper. We are putting an increased emphasis on time to delivery so that we can get capability into the hands of our Armed Forces when it is needed.

Key features of a reformed model for acquisition are expected to include: a cultural shift that puts an increased emphasis on pace; driving pace through spiral development; a closer relationship with industry; and earlier expert advice to set programmes up for success.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q110 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what the total value is for each of the contracts with Fujitsu.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave on 15 January 2024 to Question 8351, on the duration and value of the Ministry of Defence’s contracts with Fujitsu.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q112 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, what steps he is taking to increase access to semiconductors.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

His Majesty's Government is actively and continuously assessing the national security implications around semiconductor supply chains and this forms a part of our strategy both domestically and internationally, working with Allies. Additionally, the MOD is working with industry through the Defence Suppliers Forum to determine potential actions to mitigate defence supply chain risks, particularly relating to semiconductors.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Q83 of the oral evidence given by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 22 January 2024, HC 451, when he expects to (a) receive and (b) publish the report from the nuclear skills taskforce.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

The Nuclear Skills Taskforce is addressing how the UK continues to build nuclear skills and address challenges across its defence and civil workforce to help the UK meet its nuclear ambition.

The Taskforce is chaired by Sir Simon Bollom KBE and includes representatives from the Ministry of Defence, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Department for Education, academia, professional bodies and industry partners. Since September 2023, meetings have taken place almost weekly.

As set out by the Permanent Secretary, a report setting out the Taskforce’s findings and recommendations will be presented to Ministers shortly with publication to follow in due course. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on future recruitment plans before the Government has given that report due consideration.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the oral evidence by David Williams to the Public Accounts Committee on 14 November 2022, HC 727, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of inflation on the delivery of (a) Morpheus, (b) Ajax and (c) other projects.

Answered by Alex Chalk

We continue to monitor the impact of inflation on the Department's budget. Inflation remains a pressing concern for Defence and we are managing its impact through new and existing controls, including a greater use of index-linked fixed price contracts and forward purchasing of foreign currency.

Additionally our unreserved contingency funding will also help offset this pressure.
