	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reasons equipment cannibalisation within the Royal Navy has increased.
	tabling member constituency	North Durham
	tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
	uin	111135
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>The Royal Navy (RN) continues to deliver their operational commitments at home and overseas. Cannibalisation is a recognised Defence practice for satisfying a materiel demand within a required delivery date and has been in place for many years in the Armed Forces. It is used only when all other sources of supply have been explored and is essential to protecting the operational programmes of our units.</p><p>The operational imperative for the RN often dictates that cannibalisation remains the best solution. While it is the case that the percentage of cannibalisation has risen over the period of the report, it represents only 0.4% of all equipment issued to the RN.</p><p>The RN is working closely with other organisations within the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to optimise the balance between equipment and system reliability and the purchase of spares and stock inventory. The RN has introduced an &quot;in Service Capability Management&quot; organisation which clearly attributes accountability and responsibility for platform performance, driving improvements in availability, reliability, sustainability and affordability.</p><p>The RN will now use the information from the Report to monitor trends more closely, review the impact of cost saving decisions, aiming to improve support and greater efficiency.</p><p>The MOD continues to invest in advanced modelling of their inventory requirement to ensure that the requirements of complex operations, technologically advanced equipment and high tempo programmes are achieved. This investment ensures that cannibalisation remains a last resort option. However, there is no evidence that this recognised practice is having a demoralising effect on members of the RN.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 110912 110913 110917 110918 111188 question first answered 08/11/2017 15:50:15 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	uin	126325
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>Ministry of Defence Head Office directs the use of standard exchange rate assumptions for forecasting 10-year costs across the Department. The full cost of required foreign currency at forecast exchange rates is recognised separately in the Department's budgetary planning process with a provision allocated corporately for the difference between costs at forecast rates and planning assumption rates. This mechanism ensures that the total forecast cost of foreign currency is recognised and managed in the context of the overall financial position of the Department, while allowing individual budget holders to focus on managing foreign currency demand rather than reacting to exchange rate changes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/02/2018 15:45:28 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
