Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 October to Question 63927 on Navy: Training, whether any tier-one subcontractors to Capita have been removed from the delivery of Project Selborne by his Department.

The following contractors are Tier one sub-contractors to Capita Business Services Ltd for the delivery of the Selborne contract: Raytheon UK, Fujitsu, Elbit Systems UK and the University of Lincoln.

No contractors have yet left Project Selborne, however negotiations are currently underway regarding Elbit Systems UK's departure from Project Selborne. I am unable to comment further due to commercial sensitivities.
