Debate between Jeremy Hunt and Jeremy Quin

Wednesday 2nd May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hunt]

Absolutely. That will be one of the most important things that the review does.

[Jeremy Quin (Horsham) (Con)]

Tragically, it seems that the flaws were of long standing—I think the Secretary of State referred to a decade or more. Notwithstanding the length of time that has passed, will he assure the House that lessons will be learned that relate back to the procurement and design decisions that were made at the outset?

[Mr Hunt]

Absolutely. There are basically two parts to this process. One is what the problem was with the original procurement, and the other is the problem with the assurance of the project over the time period.
