	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a small central team who have been appointed to deal exclusively with Defence issues relating to the UK's decision to leave the EU. This team draws on a range of colleagues from across the MOD who support EU exit related work, in addition to their normal duties. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the MOD's other priorities it is not possible to provide an accurate assessment of these costs. answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 11/09/2018 10:11:51 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>While the future of Appledore is a matter for Babcock, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has remained closely engaged with the company on this issue. Together with MOD officials, both the Secretary of State for Defence and I have met Babcock to explore potential options. This included bringing forward a potential £60 million package of work at Devonport, thereby providing additional work for Appledore workers. However, our discussions with Babcock established that this work would not be enough to secure the long-term future of the yard.</p><p>Regrettably, Babcock has now stated that it has reached a point where it can no longer sustain the cost of its operations at Appledore. This is clearly a concerning time for Appledore employees and their families and, while Babcock will offer all those affected other positions, the Government is standing by to provide any additional support.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 02/11/2018 14:53:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
