We have conducted and shared this market analysis with industry. It is now for industry to develop proposals to deliver Type 31e at the price we have set, taking into account their costs, including normal business costs such as taxes and national insurance payments.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 08/01/2019 15:18:39 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

As at 1 April 2018 there were 130 BOTC serving in the trained strength of the British Armed Forces.</p><p>However, for security reasons the Armed Forces continue to have UK residency criteria to ensure the appropriate security standards which all applicants are required to meet. This will vary depending on the Service and role being applied for but applications are considered on a case by case basis.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 13/11/2018 15:51:57 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
