Defence: Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made changes to the threshold of financial approvals for defence expenditure requiring ministerial sign off.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Department continues to keep its financial position under review given the scale of the financial pressure across Government. This has included some targeted additional controls on committing spend to ensure effective prioritisation. The introduction of revised thresholds for Ministerial approval to ensure spend continues to support defence priorities.
