The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what funding his Department provides to BAE Systems' Falconworks programme.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The information is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Our Commercial contract accounting tools only detail the BAE Systems operating company names in the contract reporting. It does not include any details of internal business structures, like the Falconworks team, within those operating companies.
