Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will set out the contracts that his Department holds with BAE Systems in North Wales.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has five open contracts with BAE Systems in North Wales. Four of these are in support of the Hawk training aircraft and one is for support to Tornado-related equipment.

In addition, the MOD has one contract with MBDA, which is part-owned by BAE Systems, for Sea Skua missile system support. Work on this contract is also undertaken in North Wales.

It should be noted that this analysis is based on contracts which accrued expenditure in 2016-17, where records indicate that some work is undertaken in North Wales. It is possible that further contracts in scope have been awarded since then, but this information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
