Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the levels of funding required for Land Integrated Operating Service arrangements.

The Land Integrated Operating Service (LIOS) project has been launched to assess the strategic benefits and value for money of adopting a more through life approach. The project is still in its early stages, considering a range of options that will be presented in the outline business case, including the levels of funding necessary. The publication of the final product will be dependent upon any commercial sensitivities and the security classification.
