The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether compliance obligations related to defence procurement will be assessed for potential reduction.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Through our acquisition reforms we are streamlining our processes and taking risk-based approaches to procurement. We will focus assurance activity where it is most needed, reducing bureaucracy to drive pace in delivery, while ensuring compliance with the Department’s legal obligations.
