Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reason his Department did not provide an ICT hosting environment for Capita on time for the Recruiting Partnering Project.
A number of factors contributed to the problems experienced with the Information Communication Technology hosting environment provided for Capita. I refer the hon. Member to the Secretary of State for Defence's (Philip Hammond) response to an Urgent Question from the hon. Member for Gedling (Vernon Coaker) on 14 January 2014 (Official Report, column 715).
