answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2015 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 11 June 2015 to Question 1095. Ministry of Defence (MOD) commercial officers are also aware of two contracts relating to training with respect to conflict zones. These were for interpreter services firstly in support of UK training in the Ukraine and secondly for the selection in Tripoli and training at Bassingbourn of Libyan soldiers. More broadly, information on MOD contracts is not recorded in a way that would allow an automatic search to identify those relating to conflict zones, or to training. A manual search would incur disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 23/06/2015 16:26:45 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt attachment 1 file name 20150611_1095_Iraq_Military_Aid.doc title 20150611 - QnA extract on Iraq: Military Aid

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2015 answer text <p>A company's 'classification' is neither considered nor detailed as part of the procurement process and therefore would not be changed. The suitability of companies in other respects (eg legal and financial compliance) is considered before a contract is let.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 23/06/2015 16:25:37 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
