As a result we have not spent any of the contingency in the years to date. However, we have allocated funding from it in future years to support specific programmes (Rotary Wing Flying Training System and Ajax Vehicles).</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 09/03/2016 16:06:54 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
