The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to increase value for money in procurement.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Through the Strategic Defence Review we will reform our approach to procurement to deliver defence capabilities at greater pace, leverage rapidly changing technology, and take a One Defence approach to our requirements to secure the best possible value for money.

We will bring forward a Defence Industrial Strategy that aligns our security and economic priorities, and deliver a lean, end-to-end integrated acquisition system that gets more defence output for every defence pound spent.
