Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 22 January 2020 to Question 4716 on Royal Fleet Auxiliary: Procurement, for what reason disclosure of the cost to the public purse of a public procurement programme would prejudice commercial interests.
This question was answered on 30th January 2020
Disclosure of the Fleet Solid Support Ship assessment phase funding provision, or of any breakdown of the allocation of that funding provision, would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Ministry of Defence in that it would provide to potential bidders in a future competition an insight into the likely available funding and its allocation.
