	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 have been laid before Parliament to allow the legal framework for defence procurement to continue to function in the event of a 'no-deal' exit from the EU. This statutory instrument will correct deficiencies to ensure the law continues to function properly and remove any reciprocal obligations that are no longer appropriate from exit day. This measure will provide the continuity and legal certainty required by public procurers and suppliers.</p><p>More broadly, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) continues to engage with Government Departments and with key suppliers to identify risks and opportunities that may arise should the UK leave the EU without a deal. This includes extensive work on MOD supply chains and preparations for any emerging contract issues.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 18/02/2019 16:16:16 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>Defence plays a significant role in providing a secure and stable environment, which is the foundation of the UK's economic growth. This was recognised by the right hon. Member for Ludlow' s independent report 'Growing the Contribution of Defence to UK Prosperity'.</p><p>National economic data is not sufficiently detailed to identify the amount of GDP that is supported by defence sales as defence-related activities are captured in other data categories, such as different types of manufacturing activity, and some goods used by Defence are also used for civilian purposes. In 2017-18 Ministry of Defence's expenditure with UK industry and commerce was just under £19 billion; and in 2017 the UK won defence exports orders worth £9 billion. Over a rolling ten-year period the UK remains the world second largest global defence exporter.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 18/02/2019 16:17:35 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
