The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to implement a NATO test for major defence projects procurement.

Answered by Maria Eagle

We conducted a NATO test in the first 100 days of this Government.

As part of that work we are implementing a NATO test for major procurement decisions by mandating that NATO should be considered in all Ministry of Defence investment business cases. This is in the process of being implemented across the Department.
