Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Written Statement of 19 July 2018, HCWS883 on the Modernising Defence Programme, how much financial headroom his Department plans to find for additional modernisation.
As articulated in the Written Ministerial Statement I released on 19 July (HCWS883), we are currently considering how to build on our already strong record, and drive greater efficiency through business modernisation. Only once we have done so will we be able to estimate the financial headroom that this will generate.
