uin	188743
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2018 answer text <p>As stated in the Defence Equipment Plan 2018, the Ministry of Defence has secured sizeable cost savings on the Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft (£207 million), Apache Capability Sustainment Programme (£132 million) and Type 26 frigates (£104 million). These are the result of efficiencies identified and realised by Defence Equipment and Support through transformation initiatives. In particular, on the Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft, negotiations with the US Navy and Boeing achieved savings on the aircraft and the initial provision of capital spares. On Apache, economies of scales were achieved through negotiating combined requirements with the US Army and Boeing. And for Type 26, savings were achieved through using improved project control and commercial skills to adopt a much stronger negotiating strategy.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 14/11/2018 16:08:11 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>Undertaking trade with Iran is a commercial decision for individual businesses to take on the basis of considering all possible risks, and firms should seek their own legal advice before doing so. Once it is established, the same will be true for companies that may wish to use the Special Purpose Vehicle. As a party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), the British Government remains committed to its full implementation and is in regular communication with the remaining parties to the deal.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/11/2018 15:11:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
