Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many programmes have been (a) written off, (b) cancelled or (c) merged with others as a result of the Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper; and if he will provide details of each of those programmes.

On the 21 February we published our annual equipment plan which includes a summary of the changes to the defence programme as a result of the Integrated Review in annex C. Our Annual Report and Accounts, published on 20 January, shows the impact on our financial accounts.

For further information I refer the Rt Hon. Gentleman to my response to the Parliamentary Question UIN 114659 answered on the 3 February.
