James Purnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what his policy is on defence procurement and its effect on small and
medium-sized enterprises. [156751]
Mr. Ingram: Ministry of Defence procurement policy, reinforced by the Government's Defence Industrial Policy, seeks to secure best
value for money for the taxpayer and a healthy and competitive defence industry at Original Equipment Manufacturer Level and at the
level of Small and Medium Enterprises.
The MOD recognises the importance of Small and Medium Enterprises in driving innovation and contributing to the delivery of defence
capability. Defence contract opportunities are advertised through publications such as the MOD Defence Contract Bulletin and the
Official Journal of European Union. The MOD's Defence Suppliers Service and the Defence Diversification Agency provide information
and assistance to smaller firms interested in becoming defence suppliers.
The MOD also works with the DTI and its Small Business Service (SBS) to maintain awareness of initiatives aimed at harnessing
innovation.
In autumn 2001 a joint MOD/ Industry Code of Best Practice was published covering relationships at all levels within the supply
chain including those with Small and Medium Enterprises.

Mr. Purnell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on defence procurement policy and British
manufacturing. [150175]
Mr. Ingram: It is the Government's policy to provide the armed forces with the capabilities which they require at the best value for
money for the taxpayer. As the Defence Industrial Policy that my right hon. Friend launched with the Secretary of State for Trade
and Industry in October 2002 makes clear, we take fully into account the benefit to the United Kingdom economy from defence
expenditure, and we seek to encourage a healthy and globally competitive UK defence industry.
