Thales: Contracts

Asked by Mr Mark FrancoisConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 9 December 2024UIN 17770

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Serious Fraud Office investigation into suspected bribery and corruption at Thales UK on defence procurement contracts with that company.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The Ministry of Defence expects all its suppliers to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on an ongoing investigation.
