answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2022 answer text <p>I have not held discussions with India in relation to either facilitating re-export, or transhipment, of controlled goods that may end up in Russian service. The Government continues to review all licence applications for the export of UK-manufactured military and dual-use equipment against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria, including an assessment of risk that the items will be diverted to an undesirable end-user or for an undesirable end-use. Restrictions on the export of military and dual use goods will also make it more difficult for Russia to access controlled goods.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 22/09/2022 10:38:34 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's Government Major Projects Portfolio Data 2022, what assessment he has made of the feasibility of delivering the Core Production Capability programme (a) on time and (b) to budget in the context of the Independent Projects Authority's rating of that project as red.

uin	49072
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2022 answer text <p>The Department remains committed to delivering the reactor cores our submarine build programme needs. One of the factors that contributes to a red IPA rating is risk. Obviously, a combination of a “first in class” and a “highly complex capability” will raise risk levels much higher. We are constantly working to reduce risk and, following the Infrastructure Project Authority’s report on the Core Production Capability, we are currently implementing a number of changes to minimise any impact. An Accounting Officer Assessment will be published once this work has been completed.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 14/09/2022 12:55:57 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
