Defence: Procurement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of pre-pack administration procedures on the defence supply chain.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The Ministry of Defence recognises the importance of ensuring our supply chains are resilient to shocks and threats, and that we can have confidence in their ability to deliver and maintain the critical outputs we require. We work closely with our defence suppliers to ensure continuity of supply for our programmes, though it is not for Government to intervene in supply chains as a result of industry transactions.
