answer text <p>Designing and building submarines is one of the largest programmes and one of the most complex activities that the Ministry of Defence and UK Industry has ever undertaken. It is the purpose of a design phase to improve our understanding of costs and timescales, which we have now done. The current estimates reflect what we have learned since the design phase began.</p><p>As stated in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) 2015 (Cm9161), our latest estimate of the total cost to manufacture the four Successor submarines reflects greater maturity of the design and understanding of the supply chain, amounts to £31 billion; we will also set a contingency of £10 billion. This level of contingency represents about 35% of the costs to completion and is a prudent estimate based on past experience of large, complex projects.</p> more like this

answer text <br /><br /><p>Defence expenditure on fees for professional services in each of the last five financial years (FY) is provided below:</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Professional Fees</strong> <strong>£ millions</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013-14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011-12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010-11</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br>718</p></td><td><p><br>497</p></td><td><p><br>354</p></td><td><p><br>308</p></td><td><p><br>316</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The increase in expenditure from FY 2013-14 is mainly attributable to the Defence Equipment and Support (DE&amp;S) organisation spending on Private Sector Support (PSS). PSS provides DE&amp;S with critical technical support, while also using that support to design and develop the tools and processes required to upskill staff and transform the organisation.</p><br /><p>Expenditure on PSS (£227 million in FY 2014-15 included in the table above) was previously assigned to the Equipment Programme, but moved to the Professional Services category following the creation of the Bespoke Trading Entity.</p><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />

answer text <p>The civilian staff reductions announced as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review will be managed in a number of different ways. In the short term, the Ministry of Defence has agreed to make further savings and adjustments in this current financial year as part of the Government’s commitment to reducing the deficit. This is still on-going and may mean restrictions on recruitment.</p><p>Over the longer term, a number of change programmes already under way across the Department are reducing our civilian workforce. These programmes will continue, and individuals are already aware if they are affected. We will also drive forward programmes to consider better ways of delivering services, and explore opportunities to deliver outputs in more efficient or innovative ways.</p><p>We are confident these programmes will deliver the required reductions to meet the efficiency and reform savings announced in the Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015.</p> more like this
