Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the UK's capacity to manufacture the specialised cabling required under his Department's contracts.
This question was answered on 11th April 2019
No assessment has been made of the UK's capacity to manufacture specialised cabling; we are satisfied that our supplier base can continue to manufacture the cables needed for our current Defence Programmes. We provide our Armed Forces with the capabilities they need at the best overall value for money, wherever possible through open competition.
