uin	198739
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>In 2016, the average salary increase across all grades of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&amp;S) employees was 1.35%. Given the changes to the DE&amp;S pay arrangements since this period, a more detailed breakdown of this increase would require significant manual analysis of historical records and, as such, an analysis by grade could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 10/12/2018 17:09:23 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has made an assessment of the effect of the new performance management system in Defence Equipment and Support on the provision of support to the armed forces.
tabling member constituency	Caerphilly
tabling member printed	Wayne David
uin	198740
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The priority for Defence Equipment and Support (DE&amp;S) is the safe provision of world-class procurement and support to the Armed Forces. The DE&amp;S performance management system, which is designed to enable the organisation to recruit and retain the specialist skills it needs, is just one element that contributes to delivery performance. This performance is measured through an integrated set of key performance indicators (KPI), progress against which is published in the DE&amp;S Annual Report and Accounts. KPI 1 reflects delivery performance to the Armed Forces, and this shows that DE&amp;S continues to achieve or exceed its targets.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 10/12/2018 17:04:50 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
