To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) which financial year will act as the baseline from which the annual real terms one per cent increase in defence equipment spending will be calculated;
[164441]
As the 2013 spending round set out, the baseline year for the annual one per cent increase in equipment spending, which includes both procurement and support spending, is financial year 2015-16, with the increase continuing each year thereafter. This is because the baseline year needs to take account of the new efficiencies identified in the spending round 2013, which have been factored in to our plans before calculating the 1% increase.
(2) whether equipment support will be subject to an annual real terms one per cent increase after 2015.

none). 2 Figures for Akrotiri and Dhekelia include all MOD sites in British Forces Cyprus as these cannot be broken down further without incurring disproportionate cost. |

[132572]
The purpose of the Major Projects Review Board is regularly to review the Ministry of Defence (MOD) most significant projects and in particular those at risk of failure. Its aim is to ensure that projects keep to the cost and time parameters agreed by the Department’s Investment Approvals Committee and HM Treasury at the major investment decision point.
It was agreed by the then Secretary of State, my right hon. Friend the Member for North Somerset (Dr Fox), in June 2011 that the discussions would not be made
public to protect any commercial confidentialities and the provision of free and frank advice to Ministers. However, where projects of concern were identified, these would be publicly listed. There has only been one project of concern listed to date, which was Project Valiant Jetty.
The latest edition of the NAO’s Major Project Review is due for publication in early January 2013 and this will provide review and analysis of the MOD’s project performance, how the Department seeks to control cost and timeline and the performance of major acquisition projects.
