Peter Bradley: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) when and why his Department stopped funding work on FRES Assessment
Phase Planning; how much had already been spent on the work; and how it can be used in the further development of the FRES project;
[130465]
(2) what estimate he has made of the overall value of the FRES contract when it is let; how many jobs it can be expected to sustain
or generate; and how many jobs would be lost in the UK if the contract were to be awarded overseas. [130466]
Mr. Ingram: The project to introduce a Future Rapid Effect System is currently in its concept phase. Acquisition costs are yet to be
established but could be in the region of £6 billion.
Industry has undertaken some background planning work, under an Assessment Phase Planning contract valued at approximately £4
million, to develop initial estimates of programme schedule and cost. This work is now complete. The Department is considering
procurement options and will have regard to all relevant factors, including industrial issues, in determining the way forward.
