Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to correct the totalled data in figure 7 on page 11 of the Financial Summary of the Defence Equipment Plan 2016; and if he will make a statement.
There was a formula error in Fig. 7 of the published version of the Equipment Plan. As a result of a formatting change to the table, the total line was incorrect. However, the five lines of numbers above were correct. The issue had already been identified and corrected internally, with a revised version of the Equipment Plan published online on 17 February 2017.
