uin	49064
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2022 answer text <p>A fault has been identified with the Rolls-Royce/Safran Adour 951 engine, which powers the Hawk TMk2. The fault affects the components contained in the Safran manufactured Module 1 of the engine, also known as the Low-Pressure Compressor. As a precaution, a number of engines have been temporarily removed from service whilst the Ministry of Defence supports a Rolls-Royce/Safran investigation into the root cause and rectification. While this has reduced current aircraft availability, Fast Jet training is continuing at RAF Valley.</p><p>Initial assessments suggest the reduction in aircraft availability will have an impact on UK Fast Jet (FJ) training output over the next three years, but work is ongoing to minimise that impact.</p> answering member constituency Elmet and Rothwell answering member printed Alec Shelbrooke question first answered 14/09/2022 11:22:30 answering member 3997 label Biography information for Sir Alec Shelbrooke

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
