[holding answer 19 March 2007]: The Ministry of Defence (MOD) engages with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Department for International Development (DfID) on operational issues through a number of tri-departmental strategic and working groups from ministerial level downwards. Desk level officials maintain close and regular contacts across departments. Policy and Commitments staff in MOD head office lead on cross governmental engagement. Permanent joint headquarters (PJHQ) staff are consulted and contribute on operational and tactical matters to provide an integrated HMG response.At the tactical level, as part of the UK’s comprehensive approach to our operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans, personnel in theatre engage regularly with their deployed counterparts in the FCO and DfID. PJHQ staff monitor and advise as necessary on these interactions.The MOD has also developed a formal agreement with DfID on the provision of military assistance to humanitarian relief operations and is in the process of agreeing service levels with the FCO on the provision of military assistance to evacuation operations.

Information on UK employment dependent on MOD expenditure and defence exports was published in UK Defence Statistics 2006. Table 1.9 shows that in 2004-05, the most recent year given, 65,000 jobs in the UK were supported by defence exports, 21 per cent. of the total dependent on UK defence expenditure and defence exports.The Defence Industrial Strategy, which explained the benefits to defence objectives from defence exports, referred to a study by a group of independent and MOD economists entitled ““The Economic Costs and Benefits of UK Defence Exports””, published by the University of York. We have no plans to undertake further work on this subject.
