While initial support will be provided in the USA as part of the foreign military sale arrangement with the US Government, work is under way to define the support requirements from 2020 onwards. The opportunities arising from these will be managed through normal procurement routes, and UK businesses will be encouraged to participate in any competitions for this work. In advance of this, two industry days have already been held near Lossiemouth to highlight supply chain opportunities for local businesses.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 17/07/2017 14:09:51 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to reduce inflation in defence labour costs.
tabling member constituency	North Durham
tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
uin	4685
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>Competition remains the main mechanism for delivering value for money in the defence programme. Our policy of agreeing firm prices, or setting an agreed variation of price formula in our contracts to account for inflation, further incentivises contractors to control costs. Where competition is not possible, we work with our large defence contractors to agree labour rates which are considered reasonable for use in single source contracts. The Single Source Contract Regulations, introduced under the Defence Reform Act (2014), provide the Department with enhanced access to information from a supplier on costs, including labour costs, and an option to take disputes to the Single Source Regulations Office for a legally-binding determination.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/07/2017 13:34:57 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
