answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>Prior to the introduction of an electronic based HR system in 2006, departmental records on the detail of secondments were paper based. To identify anyone seconded to IMS would involve searching thousands of records and therefore the information could be provided only at disproportionate cost. IMS Ltd records do not show any secondees from the Ministry of Defence.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 05/06/2019 14:59:28 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>To maximise its commercial opportunities and provide it with services in support of effective delivery of its core business, the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) established some subsidiary companies that operated at arm's length from UKHO on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence. Any such companies were wholly-owned by the Defence Secretary and came under the umbrella of Admiralty Holdings Limited (AHL).

AHL was operated on the owner's behalf by UKHO. All companies are currently dormant are therefore no longer active.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 05/06/2019 15:02:14 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a responsibility to procure the right capability for our Armed Forces and to ensure value for money for the taxpayer in the goods and services that we buy, regardless of the company's size.</p><p> </p><p>We are clear that international competition is at the heart of our approach. This allows our Armed Forces to secure the best equipment from an open, global marketplace to meet evolving threats. We also recognise, however, that defence procurement needs to protect UK freedom of action and operational advantage. These strategic considerations shape our procurement strategies. Our refreshed Industrial Policy sets out the basis on which we will develop specific sector approaches to protect national security.</p><p> </p><p>There is no single MOD procurement scorecard. Once we have launched a commercial competition, the MOD considers a wide range of factors when awarding our contracts to obtain the best value for money outcome for defence and the taxpayer.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 30/05/2019 15:14:58 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
