In June 2014, BAE Systems notified the Department of a manufacturing issue (de-burring) affecting Typhoon aircraft rear fuselages. Testing is currently under way to substantiate how this may affect the long-term fatigue life of the airframe, although we believe that there will be little impact on the lifespan of the aircraft. Deliveries of new aircraft will continue as planned.<\/p>

<\/p>

Typhoon remains safe and is continuing normal operations without any performance impact or limitations. It has a service life of six thousand hours per airframe.<\/p>

The predicted spend profile (in £ millions) on the Maritime Support Delivery Framework contracts is shown in the table. The contracts provide flexibility within the overall totals to adjust the spend profiles to ensure the support provided is aligned with the needs of the Royal Navy.<\/p>

Companies were not required to bid for work under the Maritime Support and Delivery Framework (MDSF), which replaces three Warship Support Maintenance Initiative contracts, ship services contracts with BAES and Babcock, and contracts for a range of support activities. The contracts were awarded to our industrial partners at the UK\u2019s naval bases to support the management of the bases and to maintain and repair the Royal Navy\u2019s warships.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Ministry of Defence is able to deliver £350 million of savings under the MSDF over four and a half to five and a half years.<\/p>

The Maritime Support Delivery Framework (MSDF) contracts replace the three Warship Support Maintenance Initiative (WSMI) contracts with Babcock Marine and BAE Systems covering HM Naval Bases (HMNBs) Clyde, Devonport and Portsmouth. Under WSMI, industry was contracted to provide engineering support to Royal Navy ships and submarines, waterfront support services, logistics management, along with estates and facilities management and maintenance.<\/p>

<\/p>

The MSDF contracts also replace ship services contracts with Babcock Marine and BAE Systems and contracts for a range of other support activities.<\/p>

<\/p>

The expenditure incurred by the Ministry of Defence in each of the last five years (in £ million) is shown in the tables. The tables include only those contracts that are within the current scope of the MSDF contract.<\/p>

I believe that the 29 design requirements the Honourable Member refers to are the differences between the Batch 2 Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) and those delivered to the Brazilian Navy, which were not the same design as the initial Batch. The new requirements were:

1 Watertight Integrity Modifications
2 Fire Safety Modifications
3 Enhanced firefighting facilities
4 Automatic Emergency Lights
5 Flight Deck Officer Position
6 Domestic refrigeration Modifications
7 Sewage Treatment Plant Modifications
8 Exhaust System Modifications \u2013 (No longer required)
9 Ballast Water Modifications
10 Merlin helicopter operation
11 Helicopter In-Flight Refuelling
12 Helicopter refuelling modifications
13 Changes to ship\u2019s minimum operating temperature
14 Davit Modifications
15 Force Protection Weapon Modifications
16 Install WECDIS/WAIS
17 Install Combat Management System
18 Military communications modifications
19 Magazine Protection
20 Radio Equipment Room Modifications
21 Change lighting and domestic power voltage from 115v to 230v
22 Codification of equipment
23 Provision of life saving equipment
24 Replace navigation radars
25 Install Military GPS
26 Install flight deck landing grid
27 Fuel efficiency monitoring
28 Provide emergency communication equipment
29 Machinery Space Walkway

The 2014 Amendment to the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the United States of America for Cooperation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes 1958, otherwise known as the Amendment Agreement to the 1958 UK-US Mutual Defence Agreement (MDA), has been laid before Parliament in accordance with the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010. This Amendment Agreement is intended to renew and update certain provisions in the MDA to ensure their continuing relevance and validity for a further period of 10 years until 31 December 2024. The original MDA and its subsequent amendments are available in the libraries, as they were previously laid under the Ponsonby Rule. In line with long-established practice, and as accepted by Parliament during the 2004 renewal, the annexes of the MDA cannot be placed in the libraries because of the sensitivity of their contents.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bournemouth East"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Tobias Ellwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-17T11:44:39.6529686Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "USA"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will place in the Library a copy of (a) the current text of the 1958 UK-US Mutual Defence Agreement and its annexes, as subsequently amended since the Agreement originally entered into force and (b) any amendments to the Agreement and its annexes that the Government proposes for when they are renewed.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1433", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Angus Robertson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Moray"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Angus Robertson"} ], "uin" : "209761"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&max-ddpCreated=2014-10-14T21%3A01%3A48.287Z&tablingMemberConstituency=Moray", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 190, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
