To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any legal framework exists to support interchangeability within maritime operations with the US.
The Royal Navy (RN) and the Ministry of Defence have negotiated multiple frameworks over the past few decades to better ensure greater interoperability between the United Kingdom and the United States of America on Maritime Operations across all Defence Lines of Development.
Common operating procedures have been embedded through bilateral arrangements (such as Treaties, Statement of Intent and Memorandum of Understanding) covering issues such as personnel, tactics, training and procedures, concepts and doctrine, equipment, logistics, information, weapons and infrastructure.
The RN has a long tradition of working closely with NATO, Five Eyes allies, Joint Expeditionary Force partners and other key maritime nations and opportunities for interchangeability are regularly explored to maintain these close working relationships.

The acquisition of Cobham, a UK Aerospace and Defence company, by Advent International, in late 2019 was subject to a formal HMG review of the national security issues using powers under the Enterprise Act 2002. In line with the undertakings, Advent engaged with MOD officials on its plans to sell on various UK-based business units.
In addition, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has engaged with the buyers of UK parts of the former Cobham Group to ensure that the safety of jobs and investment in the UK remain a priority. We are content that under their new owners they will continue to provide the goods and services that our Armed Forces require and that UK jobs and investment will be safeguarded.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when assessing capital adequacy for US-based contracts, whether the decision to advance payment is based upon an examination of the finances of the US-listed company or its UK subsidiary.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) assesses the economic and financial standing of companies bidding for MOD work (including US listed companies and their UK based subsidiaries) to ensure they have sufficient financial stability to deliver any resulting contract and also monitors the financial health of its contractors throughout its contracts. These assessments are independent from, and not linked to, any decision to use any form of interim payment on any particular contract.
