Single Source Regulations Office
(asked on 30th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will break his Department's link with the Single Source Regulations Office and make it an independent body.
This question was answered on 7th November 2017
As an executive, non-departmental public body, the Single Source Regulations Office (SSRO) is set up such that the day to-day decisions are independent and are removed from Ministers and Civil Servants. Ministry of Defence Ministers are, however, ultimately responsible to Parliament for its independence, effectiveness and efficiency.
We have no plans to change this.
