Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the detailed arrangements for the bespoke trading entity being set up with existing DE&S.

Copies of the Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) Corporate Plan and the Framework Document will be placed in the Library of the House in due course, and published on the gov.uk website and the Defence Intranet. The Corporate Plan sets out the DE&S strategic objectives and timelines for the next three years. The Framework Document includes the function and governance arrangements for the new DE&S, including the freedoms and benefits.
