answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The existing scheme of UK procurement rules, which implement the EU public procurement directives, will be preserved under the Repeal Bill when the UK leaves the European Union, with relevant adjustments necessary to ensure legal operability. This will give legal certainty and continuity to businesses, contracting authorities, and employees, on day one of Exit.</p><p>We will use opportunities offered by our exit from the EU to carefully consider longer-term options for the UK's defence procurement rules. However it would be wrong to set out unilateral positions in advance of the negotiating process, and we cannot provide further details about the possible outcomes at this stage.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 11/07/2017 15:08:32 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence is buying 50 Apache AH-64E helicopters from the US Government under a Foreign Military Sales arrangement. The US has ordered the first 38 of the UK helicopters as part of its own larger purchase, under a multi-year contract with Boeing.

We expect the remaining 12 helicopters to be incorporated within the contract by the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 11/07/2017 16:16:04 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
