answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2015 answer text <p>The Defence Reform Act (DRA) 2014 grants the Ministry of Defence (MOD) the power to request the Single Source Regulations Office (SSRO) to undertake additional analysis of the standard reports provided to it by industry. To date, the MOD has not made any such request to the SSRO.</p><p>Since such work would fall outside the core responsibilities of the SSRO, the MOD would be required to pay the SSRO for any additional costs arising. It is too soon after the implementation of the DRA to make any worthwhile estimate of the potential costs to the MOD.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 03/03/2015 17:05:48 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
