Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what information his Department holds on the rate of New Stores Rejects for his Department's contracts with Babcock International.
Babcock is the second largest supplier to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) covering a range of equipment, capability and services across the maritime, air and land domains.
Appropriate processes are in place to allow the MOD to reject goods that do not conform to the requirements of a contract. Detailed information regarding New Stores Rejects is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
