- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions his Department had had with the Royal Marines on that corps' decision to procure waterproofs through NATO; and what conclusions he has drawn from those discussions.
- Answer
-
The Defence Clothing Team, part of Defence Equipment and Support, is responsible for providing all waterproof clothing to the Royal Marines (RM).
In 2013 the RM identified a requirement for a new windproof suit as part of its Mountain and Cold Weather Warfare range of clothing. Following trials, suitable items, which were also waterproof, were procured by the Defence Clothing Team using an existing contract let by the NATO Logistic Support Agency.
