Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What contingency plans his Department has put in place in the event that a private contractor to the Department collapses.
This question was answered on 5th March 2018
We regularly monitor the status of our most important suppliers and have robust, sustainable measures in place to reduce risk should there be a collapse.
We assess the legal and financial status of the company before placing a contract. We then monitor the financial health and performance of the company throughout the contract, taking action as appropriate.
