Alongside the Financial Conduct Authority and industry, we have shown we are willing to act through the introduction of a ‘modified affordability assessment’, which removes the regulatory barriers that prevented some customers, who otherwise may have been able to switch, from accessing new products. We are also regularly in contact with key stakeholders, including recently with the UK Mortgage Prisoners campaign group.</p><p>The Government remains committed to this issue and will continue to work with industry and wider stakeholders to determine if there are proposals that will meaningly benefit affected borrowers and be fair to other borrowers in the wider market.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami grouped question UIN 18171 question first answered 15/03/2024 12:55:11 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

The MOD is committed to driving effective delivery of capability to the front line and this is reflected in overall performance. The majority of our programmes deliver on or ahead of time and budget.</p><p>The Public Account Committee’s claim that the Equipment Plan does not align with the lessons learnt from the Ukraine conflict is unsubstantiated. The events in Ukraine have largely confirmed our 2019 warfighting analysis that underpins in the Equipment Plan and Defence and Security Industrial Strategy.</p><p>The MOD has been at the forefront of ensuring that the supplies get into Ukraine as soon as possible in response to the conflict as it evolves. We have trained over 15,000 recruits and provided £2.4 billion of support, including artillery ammunition, as well as leading the world on the gifting of vital capabilities, such as multiple-launch rocket systems, Challenger 2 tanks and now Storm Shadow missiles.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 19/05/2023 13:52:04 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

The Programme is currently in its concept phase and work continues, across a number of defence organisations, to ensure the programme is affordable.</p><p>Defence Equipment and Support (DES) have been allocated overall funding to develop various concepts on multiple projects. It is therefore difficult to delineate precise costs, but we would estimate that approximately c.£4 million of this funding has been allocated to the T32 programme.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk grouped question UIN 126613 126614 question first answered 26/01/2023 13:05:51 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
