Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the total value of defence-related contracts placed by his Department with suppliers based in Argyll and Bute constituency was in each of the last five years.
The value of Ministry of Defence (MOD) contracts placed in each of the last five years where work is undertaken in the Argyll and Bute constituency is provided below. The analysis includes work undertaken at Her Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Clyde, but excludes work undertaken at HMNB Clyde under the £2.6 billion Maritime Support Delivery Framework with Babcock, as the work is split between HMNBs Devonport and Clyde.
Year | Current total value of contracts (£ million)
|
2010-11 | 11.9 |
2011-12 | 0.5 |
2012-13 | 171.4* |
2013-14 | 40.0 |
2014-15 | 19.5 |
* The large increase in 2012-13 is due to a £162.2 million contract with AWE for Strategic Weapon Support.
