Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much each company in the defence industry will provide to the UK Defence Solutions Centre; and how much each such company will receive in single source Ministry of Defence contracts in each of the next three years.

Overall funding for the DGP is split equally between Government and industry. For the Defence Solutions Centre, the key 16 companies on the Steering Committee are providing resources equivalent to £8m, split equally between them.

With regard to how much each such company will receive in single source Ministry of Defence contracts in each of the next three years, this information is not held centrally and could only be gathered at disproportionate cost.
